DESCRIPTION:Chiara Zanardello\, “Flora\, Cosmos\, Salvatio: Pre-modern Acad
 emic Institutions and the Spread of Ideas”\, IAST Lunch Seminar\, Toulouse
 : IAST\, November 14\, 2025\, 12:45–13:45\, room Auditorium 6 (Third Floor
  - TSE Building).\n\nWhile good ideas can emerge anywhere\, it takes a com
 munity to develop and disseminate them. In premodern Europe (1084-1793)\, 
 there were approximately 200 universities and 150 academies of sciences\, 
 which were home to thousands of scholars and created an extensive network 
 of intellectual exchange. By reconstructing interpersonal connections that
  were made via institutional affiliations\, we demonstrate how the Europea
 n academic landscape facilitated the diffusion of ideas and led cities to 
 develop: examples include botanic gardens\, astronomical observatories\, a
 nd Protestantism. Counterfactual simulations reveal that both universities
  and academies played crucial roles\, with academies being particularly ef
 fective at connecting distant parts of the network. Moreover\, we show tha
 t the diffusion of ideas through the network is remarkably resilient\, eve
 n if we remove key regions such as France or the British Isles. In Europe\
 , ideas gain prominence when they are channeled effectively by powerful in
 stitutions.
