On the occasion of the 2027 anniversary year, scholars will explore key developments and challenges in the history of universities from a comparative perspective, from university foundations and the Reformation to experiences of war and architecture, and from women&#8217;s access to higher education to the rebuilding and renewal of universities after 1945. The hybrid lecture series brings together four historic universities and offers fresh perspectives on the similarities, differences, and transformations of European universities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><jgu-base-contactcard react-props=\"{\n    &quot;name&quot;: &quot;All information at a glance&quot;,\n    &quot;color&quot;: &quot;blue-gray&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;actions&quot;: []\n}\">\n    \n<jgu-base-listitem react-props=\"{\n    &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;calendar-week-solid&quot;,\n    &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Dates:&lt;br&gt;November 2026\\u2013February 2027&quot;,\n    &quot;uuid&quot;: &quot;1773909824902&quot;,\n    &quot;link&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: null\n    },\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;showInActions&quot;: false,\n    &quot;allowNesting&quot;: true,\n    &quot;showExpandableContent&quot;: false,\n    &quot;expandableContent&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n}\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-listitem>\n\n<jgu-base-listitem react-props=\"{\n    &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;address-card-solid&quot;,\n    &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Organizer:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/vergleichendelandesgeschichte.geschichte.uni-mainz.de\\\/nina-gallion\\\/\\&quot;&gt;Nina Gallion&lt;\\\/a&gt;, Department of Late Medieval History and Comparative Regional History, JGU&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uni-tuebingen.de\\\/en\\\/fakultaeten\\\/philosophische-fakultaet\\\/fachbereiche\\\/geschichtswissenschaft\\\/seminareinstitute\\\/geschichtliche-landeskunde-und-historische-hilfswissenschaften\\\/personen\\\/mitarbeitende-des-instituts\\\/tjark-wegner\\\/\\&quot;&gt;Tjark Wegner&lt;\\\/a&gt;, Historical Regional Studies and Auxiliary Sciences of History, University of T\\u00fcbingen &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.uni-marburg.de\\\/en\\\/staff-info?dn=acjjez5hjh\\&quot;&gt;Andreas Sch\\u00fcbeler&lt;\\\/a&gt;, Institute of Art History, Marburg University&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.uni-marburg.de\\\/de\\\/uniarchiv\\\/dr-katharina-schaal\\&quot;&gt;Katharina Schaal&lt;\\\/a&gt;, University Archives, Marburg University&quot;,\n    &quot;uuid&quot;: &quot;1779441663332&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;showInActions&quot;: false,\n    &quot;allowNesting&quot;: true,\n    &quot;showExpandableContent&quot;: false,\n    &quot;expandableContent&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;link&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    }\n}\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-listitem>\n\n<jgu-base-listitem react-props=\"{\n    &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;envelope-solid&quot;,\n    &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Contact:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/vergleichendelandesgeschichte.geschichte.uni-mainz.de\\\/chiara-daab\\\/\\&quot; data-type=\\&quot;link\\&quot; data-id=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/vergleichendelandesgeschichte.geschichte.uni-mainz.de\\\/chiara-daab\\\/\\&quot;&gt;Chiara Daab&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=\\&quot;mailto:550jahre@uni-mainz.de\\&quot;&gt;550jahre@uni-mainz.de&lt;\\\/a&gt;&quot;,\n    &quot;uuid&quot;: &quot;1777891890199&quot;,\n    &quot;align&quot;: &quot;wide&quot;,\n    &quot;showInActions&quot;: false,\n    &quot;allowNesting&quot;: true,\n    &quot;showExpandableContent&quot;: false,\n    &quot;expandableContent&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n    &quot;link&quot;: {\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;&quot;\n    }\n}\">\n    \n<\/jgu-base-listitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-contactcard><\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div style=\"display: none\">\n        \n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The joint lecture series presented by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Philipps-Universit\u00e4t Marburg, the University of T\u00fcbingen, and Uppsala University explores the history of European universities from the late Middle Ages to the present day.
