Traditionally anchored elements such as the traditional entry of the rectorate and the deans in gowns, proclamations, the commemoration of our deceased university members and the rector's review and outlook have been part of the opening of the Academic Year for many decades.

This year, the university medal will be awarded as part of the event. This distinction honors exceptional commitment and long-standing contributions to the University of Bonn and is presented to individuals who have rendered outstanding service to the university.

The students, represented by their AStA chairperson, also publicly comment on the current situation of the university and the moderation will be taken over by students of the campus radio.

Please note that admission to the event begins at 4:30 p.m. Thank you.
