400,000 € for the UB Freiburg

The Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation will again support the Freiburg University Library in 2022 with a grant of € 400,000. This brings the total funding since 2019 to € 1,550,000.

In accordance with the founder's intentions, the funding is to be used in its entirety to finance printed books. As in previous years, the acquisitions benefit members of the Faculties of Philosophy, Philology, Law and Theology. First and foremost, the students' literature needs are taken into account. In order to enable students in particular to have unhindered access to the literature purchased with Siemens funds, the books are made available in the university library as the central learning location of the University of Freiburg.
