The Doctoral Conferment Ceremonies of the University of Eastern Finland

The Doctoral Conferment Ceremonies is a way for the University of Eastern Finland to show its appreciation for persons who have completed a doctoral degree. For doctorate holders, on the other hand, the Ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate their academic achievements. In the Doctoral Conferment Ceremonies also honorary doctorates are conferred upon scientifically or socially distinguished persons representing the university's disciplines.

In the Doctoral Conferment Ceremonies the doctors get the right to carry the doctoral regalia, which at the University of Eastern Finland comprise the doctoral hat, the doctoral emblem used by all doctors, and the doctoral diploma. In addition to the actual Doctoral Conferment Ceremonies, the three-day festivities include a procession, banquet and ball as well as cruise with lunch. 

Programme of the Conferment Ceremonies available on the web site.
