Life

He is Professor Emeritus of Education and Political Science at Stanford University (1965–1993) and Professor Emeritus of Comparative Political Science. Since October 14, 1993 he was the first rector of the new European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) . Gesine Schwan became his successor on October 11, 1999.

In 2003 the first three professorships in the new faculty were advertised.

Weiler was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland in 1999 and the First Class Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2001 for his commitment in the construction years of the Viadrina .
