英文导读

The University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (German: Friedrich-Alexander-Universit.t Erlangen-Nürnberg) better known as FAU is a public research university in the cities Erlangen and Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany. University name Friedrich-Alexander came from the university"s first founder Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and its benefactor Christian Frederick Charles Alexander, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. University was founded in 1742 in Bayreuth by Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, and moved to Erlangen in 1743. In 1961 the business college in Nuremberg was merged with the university in Erlangen, which led to the present state of a university divided between two towns. The hallmark of the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen- Nuremberg is its presence in all fields of knowledge and science. The University has succeeded in establishing cutting-edge specialisations in research and teaching with an international reputation by creating a close-knit network of interdisciplinary collaboration. By cooperating intensively with non-university research centres and industry, this university in the heart of Central Franconia has come to play a leading role in the development of future technologies and concepts.

City show: Erlangen is a Middle Franconian city in Bavaria, Germany. The Bergkirchweih is an annual beer festival, similar to the Oktoberfest in Munich but smaller in scope, therefore rather intimate. It takes place during the twelve days before and after Pentecost; this period is called the “fifth season” by the locals. Nuremberg is a city in the German state of Bavaria, in the administrative region of Middle Franconia. Its main sights include: Nuremberg Castle, St. Lorenz Church, St. Laurence (one of the most important buildings in Nuremberg), Germanisches Nationalmuseum (Germany’s largest museum of cultural history), etc.
