Time : 5:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served Basis)
Event Details : 'HEIDELBERG AS A 'UniverCity'. Knowledge Milieus and International Scientific Relations'
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Peter Meusburger, Heidelberg University
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Peter Meusburger, Department of Geography, Heidelberg University Academics and students do not work in a social, cultural and economic vacuum; they are inspired or impeded by societal and organisational structures; they depend on research infrastructure, libraries, evaluators, critical audiences
and a multitude of other factors whose local interaction results in a knowledge milieu. Such knowledge milieus are nourished by the experience and networks of the particular scholars involved, by the spatial dimension of scientific cooperation, by the geographical mobility of academics and students, the
autonomy and reputation of universities, as well as many other important factors and aspects. Each university location provides scientists and students a different knowledge environment, which, in turn, has a bearing on whether and how soon new scientific concepts, practices, or technical innovations are accepted and acted upon - whether it is possible to discuss contested ideas, to conduct expensive experiments, to become part
of important networks, to hear promptly of crucial developments, or to meet with agreement or
criticism upon airing new ideas.
About the speaker : Peter Meusburger is Professor of Human Geography at the Heidelberg University. He has researched extensively on the geography of knowledge, science and education, and their economic, social and environmental impacts. He is also the editor of the “Heidelberg Research Atlas”, a richly illustrated and thoroughly researched documentation of research and teaching at Heidelberg University since its foundation in 1386, which has been published in 2011 on the occasion of the university’s
625th anniversary.
This event is jointly organised by Heidelberg Centre South Asia and Heidelberg Club International.
