History of the Faculty of Sciences

Using a timeline, we visualise the history of the Faculty of Sciences, from its origins in 1817 to the present and even looking into the near future.

It shows the important events that marked the Faculty of Sciences, situates the buildings it moved into and highlights professors from the past or events that marked the faculty.

Clicking the QR codes allow the reader to delve further into the developments of the faculty, its buildings and the people who helped shape the research at the faculty.
