On 26 June 2026, the Nuremberg Academy welcomed a group of students from the Department of Social & Cultural Sciences at Hochschule Fulda – University of Applied Sciences as part of an educational excursion exploring the origins, development and contemporary relevance of international criminal law. The group was led by Dr Nandor Knust and Professor Dr Matthias Klemm.
The students were welcomed by Dr Gurgen Petrossian and Dr Pablo Gavira Díaz, who introduced the Academy's mission and activities in the field of international criminal law. The session highlighted the continuing significance of the Nuremberg Principles and the Academy's role in promoting education and dialogue on international justice.
Following the visit to the Academy, the group continued to the Memorium Nuremberg Trials at Courtroom 600 in the Palace of Justice, where they explored the historical setting of the International Military Tribunal and reflected on the legal foundations established in Nuremberg after the Second World War. The programme concluded with a visit to the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds, providing participants with an opportunity to examine the historical context of the crimes that gave rise to modern international criminal law.
