In the winter semester 2023/24, the Käte Hamburger Kolleg welcomes Prof. Dr. Nora Markard as Research Professor. The professor of public law at the University of Münster takes over the research professorship for one semester from Dr Gregor Albers, who is currently taking on a substitute professorship at the Chair of Ancient Legal History at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.

Markard will be intensively involved in the research programme of the Kolleg this semester and seek exchange with the fellows. In addition to contributions to the Annual Conference and the Conceptual Forum on "Concurrence of Norms and Cultural Ambiguity" in November, she will organise her own Reading Session for the fellows, which will focus on fragmentation in international law. She will also contribute to the Münster Glossary on Legal Unity and Pluralism.
