About the project

In 2015 the University of Vienna commemorated the 650th anniversary of its foundation in 1365. Although the beginnings were modest, the University of Vienna developed into a flourishing university during the late Middle Ages. It survived difficult phases of its history and established itself as a research university of international standing in the 19th and 20th century.

Its round birthday offered an opportunity for a retrospective, which outlasted the jubilee year of 2015 and is continuously updated and revised as "work in progress".
