Werner Sauer vom Institut für Philosophie erhielt das Ehrendoktorat der Universität Belgrad

Am 8. Oktober 2014 zeichnet die Universität Belgrad Ao.Univ.-Prof.i.R. Dr. Werner Sauer vom Institut für Philosophie der Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz mit ihrem Ehrendoktorat aus. Rektor Vladimir Bumbasirevic und Milos Arsenijevic, Dekan der Philosophischen Fakultät der Uni Belgrad, würdigten neben den wissenschaftlichen Leistungen Sauers auch dessen humanitäres Engagement.

Eine 1999 geschlossene, erfolgreiche Kooperation zwischen den Insituten für Philosophie beider Universitäten lief bis Mitte der Nullerjahre. In deren Rahmen hielt Werner Sauer auch mehrmals Gastseminare in Belgrad ab. Die Ehrendoktoratsurkunde ist - entgegen den Gepflogenheiten an der Universität Belgrad - auf Wunsch des Dekans in Latein und zudem kalligraphisch gestaltet.
