Odra-Oder. History, Present, and Future of a European Cultural Area
[ Institution ]
European University Viadrina, Frankfurt on the Oder
To cross borders is the guiding principle of the European University Viadrina, which was founded in 1991 on the German-Polish border as a university for young people from all over the world. With its more than 5,100 students from 79 countries, the Viadrina takes up the challenges of a new era as an international and innovative university with interdisciplinary research and teaching, while at the same time joining the rich tradition of the Alma mater Viadrina (1506–1811), the first State University in Brandenburg. The Viadrina has a law school, a school of cultural studies, and a school of economics. In all programmes of study, special importance is attached to foreign language skills. The Viadrina celebrates its 500th anniversary in 2006.› visit website
