Europe’s largest collection of historic school wallcharts is housed at the University of Würzburg. More than 2,000 items from the collection are now being prepared for bavarikon, Bavaria’s web portal for digitised cultural heritage.

The mentoring programme, run in partnership between the University of Würzburg Community and the Career Centre, brings together students, PhD candidates and recent graduates with working alumni of the University of Würzburg, who support them with any questions or issues relating to their career development.

The aim of the certificate programme is to prepare students for the global job market of the future and to sensitise them during their studies to professional activities and contexts that do not yet exist or are difficult to plan and predict. The application deadline for the next round is 15 July 2026.
