Share your stories on European Academic Heritage Day 2023!

For European Academic Heritage Day 2023 (Saturday 18 November) we organise the following activities: an online campaign through Instagram and Twitter, and an online afternoon coffee break to discuss your social media entries and to get together to celebrate this important day.

The Theme

To celebrate European Academic Heritage Day 2023, we ask you to demonstrate the richness and diversity of our collections, by reflecting on the theme of Change and Transformation.

You can either interpret the theme literally or metaphorically: let your inspiration run free!

How to join?

Choose one object and its photograph or video (of up to 1 min length) and create a short story about it (no more than 60 words for each). Then post this on Instagram with the hashtag #AcademicHeritageDay2023 together with the Universeum handle:

  • for Instagram: @Universeum_Network
  • for Twitter: @universeum_eu

The campaign starts on the morning of 13 November and ends on the evening of 18 November 2023.
