Since 2018, the network meetings generally take place annually. They are a good opportunity for all fellows of the Gutenberg Academy Fellows Program (GAFP) to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. Current and former fellows can exchange ideas and get to know each other during an interesting program followed by a buffet. The aim of this event is to maintain and build relationships and to strengthen the cohesion of the GAFP.<\/p>\n\n

Despite the hot weather, our fellows made their way to the factory halls of SCHOTT AG, an international technology group that is primarily known for the production of specialty glass and glass-ceramics and is one of the largest employers in Rhenish Hesse and Mainz. From raw material preparation, melting and molding to cooling \u2013 our fellows were given an exclusive insight into the production of Robax<\/a>. The subsequent tour of the exhibition also provided an overview of the company\u2019s history and its innovations. Cold drinks, Spundek\u00e4s cheese, and pretzels were followed by an opportunity to meet and chat in \u201cDas Nest.\u201d We would like to thank SCHOTT AG, especially Timo Weil, Head of Process Optimization & Projects at SCHOTT, and our former junior fellow, Dr. Sebastian Leukel, Principal Expert Glass Development at SCHOTT, for making this day possible. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n

Despite the unpredictable weather this year, our fellows went to the largest monument in the city of Mainz, the citadel, with our tour guide Brian Huck, the head of the old town. We experienced Roman times, the Middle Ages, and modernity both above and below ground (casemates) on the compact site with a unique view of the city. Afterwards, we had the opportunityt to get to know each other and chat over a glass of wine, Spundek\u00e4s cheese, bread, and pretzels in the Michel wine house.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n

Despite the bad weather, our fellows went on a walk through the old town of Mainz at the end of the year, following the traces of National Socialism. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to meet and chat over warm drinks, focaccias, and cake at Caf\u00e9 Blumen.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n

As part of this meeting, Dr. Sascha K\u00f6hl and Leonie K\u00f6hren gave an exciting architectural tour of the campus, during which the central canteen, the Muschel, and the School of Natural Sciences were visited. These are three buildings on the university campus that are of particular architectural interest and are therefore judged to be worthy of protection by a number of experts. Afterwards, there was an opportunity to meet and chat over a snack in the “Schule des Sehens”. Other experts from the Association for Post-War Modernist Architecture in Mainz were also greeted. As their focus is on the future of campus expansion and the preservation of buildings, the fellows of the association provided information on local campus architecture and current developments.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n

On Friday, June 8th, 2018, the first network meeting took place at the Mainz School of Music. Junior fellows, senior fellows, and alumni took part. The highlight of the event was the exclusive organ concert by our alumna Anna Pikulska, during which she not only played two different organs, but also gave the participants various impressions of the instruments” sound and function. After the concert, the fellows had the opportunity to meet and chat. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-imagegallery>\n
