Following the UNITE events organized by other faculties this spring, the Faculty of History is kicking off the autumn semester with our own "sortie au vert." As you know, the Graduate Campus initiative is a key part of our accreditation journey, offering a valuable space to connect with peers across disciplines. This time, however, we are stepping outside the institution’s walls to explore the very where our (soon to be) university is established.

The afternoon of Friday, August 28 will be dedicated to cultural and historical discovery with the visit of the old military fortress and the Museum of the Swiss Guards and designed to deepen our ties to the local area. We are counting on a strong turnout from our doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to make this inaugural autumn gathering a success. 

We will share the registration link soon. In the meantime, please block your calendars.
