Research Profile Strategy 2030+

In summer 2023, the University of Erfurt presented its research profile strategy for the coming years. In this strategy, the university not only commits to its structural profile fields, but also focuses on even stronger networking in the future – both, within the university and with external cooperation partners – on graduate service and on knowledge transfer to society.

In an interview, Professor Benedikt Kranemann and Dr Katharina Held, under whose leadership the research profile strategy was developed, explain the background and details.

Research: "In gewisser Weise ist es tatsächlich damit vorbei, das Zeitalter der Aufklärung als Erfolgsgeschichte zu betrachten"(Story)

We must now consider how this new perspective, which we are forced to adopt by the climate crisis, changes our view of the past 500 years. This is especially true for the time of the Enlightenment.

We asked Martin Mulsow, director of the Research Centre, what the climate crisis has to do with the humanities. How the dwindling horizon of the future affects knowledge production. And whether the Enlightenment can still be considered a success story with our knowledge.
