Finally completing a doctoral degree after devoting years of work to it is a very special occasion, and calls for a celebration.

Since 2018, FAU has celebrated the achievements of doctoral graduates with an awards ceremony and has honoured the achievements of all alumni who obtained a doctoral degree from FAU 15, 25, or 50 years ago. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic meant that we were unable to celebrate the ceremonies as usual in 2020 and 2021.
