Ars docendi 26/2026
Premessa – Vorwort – Foreword [Adami/ Korn]
Starting this year, we would like to focus even more strongly than before on one specific topic per issue.
For March 2026, we have decided to collect information from various European countries on how associations that support classical languages and classical philology are perceived and utilised there.
We have received contributions from Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Poland and Luxembourg in response to our call. An interesting picture is emerging of very different situations in the individual countries, but also of opportunities for cross-European cooperation. Especially for Austria, which is currently struggling with a very special reform by the Minister of Education, European cooperation is more necessary than ever, and it is also noticeable in the countless protests far beyond Austria.
In addition, this issue once again features examples of Iuvenes, i.e. school pupils and very young students who have written special articles.
There are also highly interesting articles on a fascinating archaeological question, on the so-called ‘small university subjects’ and how everyone can only benefit from interdisciplinary cooperation, on planned innovations in medical and dental terminology, and on the special role of Nemesis in the later reception of this figure.
As always, we hope you enjoy reading!
Martina Adami, Matthias Korn
It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden death of our second editor-in-chief, Matthias Korn, at the beginning of March.
Matthias Korn was a welcome guest and valued speaker at Academia Didactica Athesina, and despite the long and, for him, undoubtedly arduous journey, he was the most loyal guest of this special event.
Matthias Korn was also an important companion and colleague for Ars docendi in recent years. With his expertise and enormous commitment, he worked with me to produce numerous issues of Ars docendi.
You could always rely on Matthias Korn.
Thank you, Matthias, for everything!
