625- Research for tomorrow
Research for Tomorrow: 12 Responses from 12 Academic Disciplines. Under this joint title, the twelve Faculties of the University have invited women scholars and scientists to come to Heidelberg and speak about their subjects. In the course of the 625th anniversary year, 12 renowned representatives of specific fields will be reporting on their research and addressing a topic of interest to the respective Faculty.
The fascination exerted by research is not merely a matter of the findings produced. The personalities of the people to whom we owe those findings are just as intriguing. Our interest focuses this year on the female “greats” in present-day academic endeavour. The 625th anniversary is also a celebration of the presence of women researchers at the University. This tradition is a venerable one indeed, dating back 111 years.
Our aim is to make unusual research achievements accessible to a wider public. This series of lectures is angled at colleagues, students, members of the University and all those who are curious to see where front-edge science and humanities are heading.
