The second Conferment of Doctoral Degrees of the new multidisciplinary Tampere University was celebrated on 6—8 June 2025
The ceremonial conferment of doctoral degrees is the highest and most prestigious academic celebration and a tradition that spans several centuries. “Promootio”, the Finnish word for conferment, comes from the Latin verb “promovere”, which means promotion, advancement, and elevation. The purpose of the conferment ceremony is to highlight the value of and respect for research and education.
The multidisciplinary Tampere University was established through the merger of Tampere University of Technology and the University of Tampere at the beginning of 2019. The first doctoral conferment of the new university was celebrated in August 2022. Tampere University’s second doctoral conferment was arranged in June 2025. The main event, the festive conferment ceremony, took place at Tampere Hall on Saturday 7 June.
Congratulations to all conferred doctors and honorary doctors, and thank you for participating in the festivities!
