    FAU Wunschkonzert

    In spring 2023, we are once more organizing a concert open free of charge to all alumni, students and staff at the University. What’s special about this concert, however, is that students were able to make suggestions about which bands and artists will perform.

You can already start to look forward to the next FAU Alumni Day.

    Dies academicus – FAU’s anniversary celebrations

    Once a year on November 4, FAU celebrates the date when the University was established in 1743. This was the day that Friedrichs-Universität was founded in Erlangen by Margrave Friedrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. It was the third university to be established in Franconia, after the universities of Altdorf and Würzburg. As alumni, you are cordially invited to attend. Please get in touch to reserve a place by mid October at the latest.
