The Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany, the Babeş-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and the Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, Hungary, are organizing during the years 2016 to 2018 three Summer Academies on the subject “The Danube Region and Europe. Diversity as Challenge – Diversity as Potential. Practices, Models, Comparisons”.

The Summer Academy is the result of several years of triangle cooperation between these universities especially in the fields of history, cultural anthropology and German studies. The Summer Academy includes the long 19th Century, the interwar and World War II period, the Cold War as well as the EU enlargement process.

The main focus of the three Summer Academies is directed on the particular experiences of the Danube Region with diversity from a historical perspective – understood not as a problem, but as one of the regions advantages. The Summer Academy is structured by key notes of distinguished scholars, presentations of current research projects and work conducted in small groups on texts and essential literature connected to the fields of the key notes and presentations.

The 2016 Summer Academy in Tübingen “‘Empire’ and Diversity: The Habsburg Monarchy in the long 19th Century” will cover the following topics: “Empire” as a paradigm in recent historiography, terms, theories and analytical tools for researching diversity, introduction and special questions on diversity in state, law and public administration, majorities and minorities in urban culture, the impact of growing mobility and migration, performing identity within nationalism and political movements.
