Hans Beck serves as Professor of Greek History at the University of Münster (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität) since 2018, with an additional appointment as Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Arts at McGill University. His academic career includes previous positions as Professor of Ancient History and Director of Classical Studies at McGill University (2005-2018), Heisenberg Fellow at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt (2004-2005), and Research Assistant at the University of Cologne (1997-2004). Beck earned his academic training through doctoral studies at the Universities of Erlangen, Canterbury, and Cambridge (1989-1996), followed by a fellowship at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC (2001-2002). His educational background reflects a strong international foundation in classical studies. His research spans multiple interconnected fields within ancient history, with particular emphasis on the history and culture of ancient Greece, historical geography of Greece, environmental studies of the ancient Greek world, political culture of the Roman Republic, and ancient historiography. Beck's work consistently explores themes of localism, federalism, and political structures across ancient societies, with notable contributions to understanding Greek city-states, regional identities, and comparative political systems. His approach often bridges geographical, historical, and cultural perspectives to examine how ancient communities organized themselves politically and maintained regional identities within larger frameworks. Analyzing his recent publications reveals a sustained focus on local political structures within broader contexts, particularly examining how Greek city-states maintained autonomy while participating in federal leagues. His work increasingly incorporates comparative approaches, connecting Greek political structures with those of Rome and even ancient China, reflecting his editorial work on cross-cultural studies. Beck demonstrates particular expertise in analyzing how physical landscapes shaped political organization and how religious practices reinforced regional identities. Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2018) Anneliese Maier Research Award from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2014) Heisenberg Fellowship from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (2004) Doctoral scholarship from German Academic Exchange Service (1995) Doctoral scholarship from Hanns Seidel Foundation (1994) Beck has supervised numerous doctoral students including Jordan Christopher (2022), Chandra Giroux (2021), Wentian Fu (2020), Rebecca Robinson (2017), Alex McAuley (2015), and François Gauthier (2015), covering diverse topics from ancient Qin and Macedon to cult practices in ancient empires. His academic leadership extends to directing research projects B3-49 'Belonging in/to Lakonia' and B3-40 'Localism and Religion in Ancient Greece' within the Excellence Cluster focusing on 'Religious Diversity and Legal-Political Unity.' As head of the project 'Belonging in/to Lakonia' and 'Localism and Religion in Ancient Greece,' Beck leads interdisciplinary research teams examining archaeological and historical evidence from the Sanctuary of Apollo at Amyklai and its surroundings. His work integrates textual analysis with material culture studies, creating comprehensive approaches to understanding ancient regional identities and religious practices. Beck's leadership in these projects demonstrates his commitment to bridging traditional disciplinary boundaries in classical studies.

Franz von Liszt (1851–1919) was a prominent German legal scholar and a foundational figure in international criminal law. He served as a professor at the Friedrich Wilhelm University (now Humboldt University of Berlin) from 1898 until his death in 1919. The Franz von Liszt Institute for International Criminal Law, established in the early 2000s at the Humboldt University Faculty of Law, bears his name in recognition of his legacy. The institute focuses on international criminal law, European criminal law, and the intersection of German criminal law with global legal frameworks. While von Liszt’s direct academic contributions ended with his passing, his work remains central to the institute’s research mission. His historical role as a scholar shaped the university’s legal tradition, particularly in the fields of comparative criminal law and the theoretical foundations of international legal systems. The institute continues his legacy through research projects such as the Humboldt International Criminal Law Discussion Group and collaborations with global institutions like the Minerva Center at the University of Haifa.

His academic career includes positions at various prestigious institutions including the Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Istanbul and the German Study Center in Venice. Education: Habilitation in Art History, University of Leipzig (2023) PhD (summa cum laude), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2011-2015) Magister, Humboldt University of Berlin (2003-2010) Bergmeier specializes in the art and architecture of medieval Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, with particular focus on transcultural phenomena and cultural heritage from late antiquity to the early modern period. His research critically examines traditional categories of eras and cultures through the lens of spolia (reused architectural elements) in Byzantine Empire, Venice, and Seljuk Anatolia. He investigates how processes of repurposing artifacts connect to identity formation across cultural boundaries, challenging modern divisions of culture along nation-state lines. His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on spolia, cultural heritage, and transcultural connections in medieval art. His recent works examine the visual construction of shared historical narratives through reused materials, particularly in Venice, Byzantium, and Seljuk Anatolia. His research reveals how medieval societies engaged with their past through material culture, often creating connections across political and cultural boundaries that challenge modern nationalist interpretations of history. Scientific Awards: Hans-Janssen-Preis (2018) Heisenberg Program admission by DFG (2025) Bergmeier has supervised numerous students through seminars on spolia and medieval material culture, including the notable "Reuse and Repurpose" podcast series created with students in 2021.
