The Inauguration of New Professors has been moved forward to next spring

Due to the continued spread of infection, the Vice-Chancellor has decided to move the planned Inauguration of New Professors to next spring. Since the Inauguration of New Professors was also postponed last year, the decision means that three cohorts of new professors will be inaugurated in the Congress Center at the Swedish Fair in May 2022.
Discussions are ongoing about how the autumn’s Conferement of Doctoral Degrees can be carried out in a safe way. Both last year’s and this year’s Conferement of Doctoral Degrees are planned to be given in October 2021, but it is not clear how the ceremony will be designed. This year’s Retirement Ceremony and the ceremony for Zealous and devoted service, which would have taken place in January and February, have already been canceled.
