The main research attention about the history of the Prague University was usually given to the disturbing time of the first decades of the 15th century with the pre-national conflicts and rise of the pre-reformation Hussite movement. We wanted to shift the focus on the first 50 years of the Prague University and answer at least some of these questions: How did establishing the Prague University change the cultural and intellectual space in Central Europe? What were the influences from other, already established universities? How peculiar or common were the works of Prague masters and students? How do the new findings reshape our understanding of the university's role during the first decades of its existence? These aspects were covered by six sessions in two days.
