The academic lectures of the Jakob-Fugger-Zentrum highlight new transnational research and approaches from different viewpoints. Featuring captivating speakers, the lectures offer a platform for discussion and stimulating exchange across disciplinary boundaries.

In the winter semester of 2018/19, the academic lectures focussed on the dark side of the Enlightenment and the relationship between cosmopolitanism and civil war. They examined the pension crisis and the perception of a "demographic time bomb" in a transnational comparative perspective. They also explored Otherness from a philosophical perspective and analysed the meta-geography underlying the Chinese project of a New Silk Road.
