Salzburg University Weeks

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Salzburg University Weeks are an annual summer university of the University of Salzburg . Its aim is to create a university forum on which theology, together with all other sciences, takes up fundamental and current issues and problems of our time.

history

The theological faculty of the Archbishop's See in Salzburg, the German-speaking Benedictine Confederation , the Catholic Academic Association and the Görres Society held the Salzburg University Weeks (SHW) - also known as "universitas catholica in nuce" - for the first time from August 3 to 22, 1931. Then there was a falling out with the Görres Society, which at that time was presided over by Heinrich Finke .

Pioneers and initiators were Chancellor Prelate Ignaz Seipel , Archabbot Petrus Klotz (1878–1967) and Franz Xaver Münch . In 1932 they founded an association that endeavored to expand a Catholic university, chaired by Franz Xaver Münch. In 1937 Karl Rahner gave a lecture on the philosophy of religion (see all works. Vol. 4, Freiburg 1997, pp. 285–295), he was unable to hold another one on the question of church membership in 1946, as foreign lecturers were not allowed to enter in time could (see all works. Vol. 10, Freiburg 2003, p. XIVf.). The annual event has had a changing motto since 1949. Furthermore, the board of directors announces an audience award, which was donated for 2007 by the Catholic Association of Academics in Germany.

From 1973 to 1976 Robert Kriechbaumer was Secretary General. The chairmen were Fr. Thomas Michels OSB (1950–1971), Fr. Ansgar Paus OSB (1971–1980) and Fr. Paulus Gordan OSB (1980–1993) and Heinrich Schmidinger (1993–2005). From 2005 to 2015 Gregor Maria Hoff held the position, followed by Martin Dürnberger as chairman.

The keynote speakers included Hans Georg Gadamer , Ruth Klüger , Andrzej Szczypiorski and Joseph Ratzinger .

Theological price

The Theological Prize of the Salzburg University Weeks has been awarded since 2006 in recognition of a complete work that has advanced, challenged and inspired theological discourses or continues to do so; This self-image explains why non-theologians can also receive the award.

The prize is organized by the Salzburg University Weeks and is endowed with 5000 euros.

Audience award

As part of the Salzburg University Week, the SHW Board of Directors has been offering an audience award for scientific communication since 2006. Graduated scientists from all disciplines who have not yet reached the age of 35 are cordially invited to apply. For the audience award, we ask for texts in the scope of a 25-minute lecture that deal with the topic of the respective university week - based on the challenges presented above or based on your own theses, observations and questions.

A jury will select three texts from the submitted texts, the authors of which will be invited to Salzburg for a lecture. There the audience determines the winners. Criteria are scientific quality, originality of content and communicative transfer performance. The prize is particularly aimed at communicating scientific knowledge to a wider audience.
