===Legacy=== [[File:Austria 1910 10k Franz Josef.JPG|thumb|upright|Centennial stamp<ref>[https://onlineshop.post.at/onlineshop/briefmarken---philatelie/briefmarken/sondermarken/100-todestag-kaiser-franz-joseph_13438 ''100. Todestag Kaiser Franz Joseph'' (100th Anniversary of the death of Emperor Francis Joseph)]. The stamp uses the design issued on his 80th birthday, which in turn is based on a 1908 design by [[Koloman Moser]] to commemorate the 60th anniversary of his accession to the throne.</ref>]] [[Franz Josef Land]] in the Russian Arctic was named in his honour in 1873 by the [[Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition]] which first reported finding it. The [[Franz Josef Glacier]] in New Zealand's South Island also bears his name. Franz Joseph founded in 1872 the ''Franz Joseph University'' (Hungarian: ''Ferenc József Tudományegyetem'', Romanian: ''Universitatea Francisc Iosif'') in the city of [[Cluj-Napoca]] (at that time a part of Austria-Hungary under the name of Kolozsvár). The university was moved to [[Szeged]] after Cluj became a part of Romania, becoming the [[University of Szeged]]. In certain areas, celebrations are still being held in remembrance of Franz Joseph's birthday. The Mitteleuropean People's Festival takes place every year around 18 August, and is a "spontaneous, traditional and brotherly meeting among peoples of the Central-European Countries".<ref>[http://www.mitteleuropa.it/uk Associazione Culturale Mitteleuropa] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514200334/http://www.mitteleuropa.it/uk/|date=14 May 2013 }}. Retrieved 21 April 2012</ref> The event includes ceremonies, meetings, music, songs, dances, wine and food tasting, and traditional costumes and folklore from ''[[Mitteleuropa]]''.
