During the conference ‘UBIAS into Impact: Networking our academics meet
global challenges", which was held in late June at the University of Birmingham,
the Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies of the University
of Erfurt had been admitted as member of UBIAS by the Director's Conference.
The UBIAS network (University based Institute for Advanced Study) was founded
in 2010 and represents more than 32 Institutes for Advanced Study in the world.
All Institutes for Advanced Study gathered in this network are connected to a
university and contribute to the academic culture and interdisciplinary
networking of their respective university. They do this by Fellowship programs
at different levels of the academic career, so they contribute to
interdisciplinary, intergenerational and international networking of the
respective universities. The inclusion of the Max Weber Center by UBIAS is an
international recognition of the quality of Erfurt’s Fellowship programs and opens
up numerous contacts and opportunities for cooperation with similar
institutions around the world.
UBIAS organizes annual international conferences that serve and help
implement quality standards in the international context of the cross-linking
of the respective institutions.
‘We are proud of having become member of the UBIAS network and see this as
a recognition and incentive for further work of the Max Weber Center,
particularly with regard to the internationalization of the University of
Erfurt’, says Professor Dr. Hartmut Rosa, director of Max Weber Center of the
University of Erfurt.
