60 years University of Konstanz
60 Years of MORE

Rethinking what universities can be: open, interdisciplinary and involved in close dialogue linking research, teaching and society. This idea has been part of the University of Konstanz "package" from its founding days as a reform university in 1966.

Now, as our campus community celebrates its 60th anniversary, we invite you to join us for the Dies academicus on 2 July 2026 and an Open House on 3 July 2026. Our motto 60 Years of MORE highlights the wide spectrum of events, hands-on activities, lectures, tours and dialogue that take place this year.
