After the gala concert to mark the beginning of the year of anniversary celebrations in January, the academic choir will be holding another concert for FAU's anniversary during the summer semester. On Thursday, 28 June 2018 at 8pm.

Dr. Thomas Reiter spricht über das Thema „Die Exploration des Weltraums – Aktuelle Höhepunkte und zukünftige Entwicklungen“.

The jubilee year begins with an international scientific symposium on the topic ’Future of Research - Research of the Future’. As the focus is interdisciplinarity: FAU scientists from all disciplines, together with international colleagues, will look at the future of research.

In this jubilee year, FAU students, former students and employees are invited to creatively visualise ‘their FAU’ in a short film.

The jubilee edition of friedrich will be available for the entire year of 2018. This magazine, of course, looks back on FAU’s 275-year history, and perhaps even more importantly, looks at the future of research and teaching at the FAU.

275 years ago, a church service was held in Neustädter Church in Erlangen on 4 November to celebrate the founding of the University. After 275 years, the anniversary will now again fall on a Sunday, the perfect occasion to celebrate the University’s anniversary with a University service in the church at 10am on 4 November 2018.

On FAU’s actual birthday, the Dies Academicus, guests from across the jubilee year can expect a small surprise. Additionally, the three winners of the ‘My FAU’ film competition will make their debut, and ’The Hohenzollern and the FAU – Past and Present’ exhibition will open in the university library. In the context of the opening of the exhibition, FAU’s foundation documentation will be made accessible online for the first time.

Among the universities founded by the Hohenzollern dynasty, FAU is the youngest and the only one in the Franconian market towns of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and Brandenburg-Ansbach. For political reasons, the state university was established in nearby Erlangen in 1743.

In 1993, the ‘History of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg 1743-1993’ was published by Prof. Dr. Alfred Wendehorst, the long-standing professor of the Department of Bavarian and Franconian History as well as the university archivist. Since then, a quarter of a century has passed. This gap in university history will be closed on this anniversary by one of FAU’s most celebrated historians, Prof. Dr. Gregor Schöllgen, with the book ‘Wissen in Bewegung. 275 Jahre FAU’.

The ‘275 Years of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg’ project details the Faculty of Medicine in its chronological development and structure, looking closely at the people and interests involved, the scientific, cultural, social and political conditions.
