Bielefeld University is part of the NEOLAiA network, an association of nine young, dynamically developing higher education institutions in various European regions beyond the metropolises. With a regional focus, NEOLAiA aims to create an open and inclusive educational and social environment that sponsors equity at the university and in European society as a whole.
Through the European university alliance NEOLAiA, Senior lecturer Patrik Winton from Örebro University became aware of Bielefeld University as an intellectually stimulating place for his research. During his one-month stay as a visiting scholar, he is working on his current book project and exchanging ideas with colleagues from Bielefeld University's Department of History.
The session was led by Anna Lorentzon (Örebro University) and Jörg Heeren (Bielefeld University).
