Alfried Krupp Fellow Lectures

The focus of the Kolleg’s activities is the Alfried Krupp Fellows Program, which was started in 2007 and in which over 100 visiting scientists have participated. It offers outstanding scientists the possibility to carry out a larger scientific project at the Kolleg far away from their daily academic obligations.

The Fellows are also encouraged to convey their research projects, which can include almost any subject, to early career researchers and participate in the University’s teaching with lectures and seminars. They give interested parties a first impression of their project in their own Fellow Lecture during their stay.



Alumni Fellow Lectures

Professor Dr. Rainer Hegselmann, Fellow in the year 2012/2013, in conversation.

The former Fellows’ connection to the Kolleg is expressed by the alumni initiative, which helps maintain regular contact with the Kolleg, e.g. with an alumni get-together that traditionally takes place in June and the regular Alumni Fellow Lectures.
