A new class of fellows has been appointed to the Marsilius Kolleg, Heidelberg University’s interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Study.

At their regular sessions the fellows will be discussing topics like “causality in evolutionary theory” and “pattern formation”.

The members of the sixth class of fellows at the Marsilius Kolleg are Prof. Dr. Romuald Brunner (child and adolescent psychiatry), Prof. Dr. Beatrix Busse (English studies), Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Fuchs (psychiatry and psychology), Prof. Dr. Markus Hilgert (Assyriology), Prof. Dr. Thomas Holstein (biology), Prof. Dr. Peter McLaughlin (philosophy), Prof. Dr. Gudrun Rappold (human genetics), Prof. Dr. Melanie Trede (East Asian art history), Prof. Dr. Ulrich Uwer (physics), Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Wahl (gerontology) and Privatdozentin Dr. Dr. Eva Winkler (medical ethics).

The Marsilius Kolleg under the direction of Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Kräusslich and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schluchter is a cornerstone of Heidelberg University’s Institutional Strategy to promote top-level research in the framework of the Excellence Initiative organised by Germany’s state and federal governments. Its aim is to bring together handpicked researchers from various academic cultures, thereby encouraging a research-related dialogue between the humanities, law and social sciences on the one hand, and the natural and life sciences on the other.
