Since its foundation in 2016 by Prof. Dr Ruth E. Hagengruber<https://historyofwomenphilosophers.org/ruth_e_hagengruber/> with the support of Svenja Schulze<https://www.svenja-schulze.de/>, then Minister for Science and Innovation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Center has developed into an internationally recognised illuminating exemplar of research.

Through groundbreaking publications, a wide range of high-calibre events, and innovative teaching and research formats, it has had a lasting impact on the visibility of women in the history of philosophy and science and has played a decisive role in reorienting academic discourse.

The anniversary offers an opportunity to look back on this development, to celebrate key milestones and to look ahead together to future projects.

The celebration will take place on July 27, 2026 from 9:30 – 12:00 (CEST) at Paderborn University. The event takes place in hybrid format. To access the zoom link please register at our indico page<https://indico.uni-paderborn.de/event/157/>.
