On the 22nd of February 2017, the Principal Investigator of ReConFort Prof. Dr. Ulrike Müßig gave a presentation on “National Sovereignty in Early European Constitutionalism” at the Royal College of Spain (Real Collegio Mayor de San Clemente de los Españoles) in Bologna, Italy on the invitation of Prof. Dr. Juan J. Gutierrez Alonso. The presentation was attended by the doctoral students of the Royal College and members of the ReConFort research team. The Royal College is supporting the early careers of the best Spanish doctoral student of different disciplines and hosts them at its premises.
The Royal College of Spain in Bologna probably is the only surviving mediaeval college on the continent, comparable to the Cambridge and Oxford model. Out of former twenty-one foundations in the city of Bologna, only the Spanish College survived. Not only due to these facts, this academic institution situated between the Via del Collegio di Spagna and the Via Urbana takes an important position within European transboundary academic tradition. Cardinal Gil Álvarez Carrillo de Albornoz established the statutes of the college only years before his death in 1367 and is considered to be the College’s founder. Later – in 1530 – Charles V conferred his royal patronage to this academic institution. Today, the College is a special example of the shared European cultural heritage and was honored by the Europa Nostra Award in 2012.
