About

Holm Keller (* 1967) is a German dramaturge, theater scholar and administrative scientist. He was from 2006 to 2016 full-time vice-president of Leuphana University Lüneburg and since 2015 Executive Chairman of the kENUP Foundation.

Holm Keller has been chairman of the kENUP Foundation since 2015, a foundation for the promotion of innovation in Europe. In collaboration with the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Foundation has so far made public investments worth more than € 120 million, mostly in life science companies. 

From 2009 to 2015, Keller headed the so-called EU Innovation Incubator Lüneburg, a major project of Leuphana University within the framework of the ERDF funding of the European Commission. The project was acknowledged by the OECD in a report. 

From 2006 to 2016 Keller was Vice President of Leuphana University Lüneburg. In the 2011 Senate election, he was confirmed as Vice President, but should pursue in the 2012-2020 term only part-time work at the university. The 2012 newly constituted Senate confirmed Holm Keller in May 2012 then full-time in office. On January 8, 2016, Holm Keller resigned his office prematurely to devote himself to new professional challenges. 

Holm Keller was repeatedly because of numerous controversial projects in the criticism, inter alia, of student representatives. Especially the new central building for the university is highly controversial. At times, the public prosecutor's office Stade against Holm Keller, because the university allegedly awarded the contract for the new building without a tender to Daniel Libeskind and thus violated the procurement directives. However, the investigation was soon stopped because there was no evidence of infidelity or subsidy fraud in connection with the construction of the new Leuphana central building. 

Holm Keller studied drama at the University of Vienna from 1986 to 1992 and was a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. At the same time he worked as a composer and cultural journalist for various institutions.
