University of Strasbourg

A public research university in Strasbourg, France, formed in 2009 by merging three local universities. Its institutional roots extend to the Protestant academy founded in 1538.

Johannes Sturm: A German educator who founded Strasbourg’s Protestant academy in 1538 and led it for decades. His academy established the institution’s educational lineage.
CNRS: France’s national public research organization, which supports laboratories across scientific disciplines. Joint research units link CNRS teams with university laboratories.
University of Freiburg: A public research university founded in 1457 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Its location across the Rhine makes it a nearby German academic counterpart.
University of Strasbourg I: A French university created in 1971 from the division of the former University of Strasbourg. Unlike the present university, it was a separate institution before the 2009 merger.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: A German writer and statesman who studied law in Strasbourg in the early 1770s. His time as a student connects the university to a formative period in his life.
Inserm: France’s public research institute dedicated to human health and biomedical science. Its partnerships support biomedical research connected to the university’s medical campus.
University of Basel: A public research university founded in 1460 in Basel, Switzerland. It is another historic university in the Upper Rhine region.
University of Strasbourg II: A French university created in 1971, specializing in arts, humanities, and social sciences. Its separate disciplinary profile contrasts with today’s unified institution.
Louis Pasteur: A French chemist and microbiologist whose research established foundations of germ theory and vaccination. He conducted influential research and taught in Strasbourg before moving to Lille.
European Parliament: The directly elected legislative body of the European Union. Strasbourg’s European institutions create a local setting for European law and politics studies.
