Fourth university-wide "Professorium" on 12 November 2026

The Professorium is an exclusive event format for all professors at our university. It offers an opportunity to get to know one another across institutes and disciplines, and to strengthen academic networks.

Once again this year, researchers from all disciplines are invited to take part, with two faculties at the centre of attention. This year, these are the Faculty of Catholic Theology and the Faculty of Arts. Under the motto "Sprache, Schrift, Symbolik & Sinn: Wissenschaft vernetzen" ("Language, Writing, Symbolism & Meaning: Networking Science"), they will provide special insights into their work, creating opportunities for future collaborations.

Beim 1. Professorium hatten die Professorinnen und Professoren während des Speed-Datings eine Minute Zeit, um ihr Forschungsgebiet vorzustellen (Nahaufnahme Sanduhr).
Professor Pauli eröffnet das 1. Professorium.
Beim 1. Professorium konnten die Professorinnen und Professoren bei einer Live-Umfrage am Smartphone aktiv teilnehmen.

Connected in Collaboration: Research Networks at JMU

Collaboration at the University of Würzburg transcends the boundaries of institutes and faculties – it forms the foundation for excellence in both research and teaching. For the first Professorium in 2023, we asked professors from our ten faculties what role networking plays in their daily work. Here are their answers (Video German only).
