Faculty IV's 2026 Annual Celebration

Natural Sciences and Technology School Annual Celebration: Sunshine, a Red Carpet, and Lots of Applause for Up-and-Coming Scholars

The School of Science and Technology at the University of Siegen celebrated its graduates and newly minted Ph.D. recipients in a festive setting. At the annual celebration in the Apollo Theater, the focus was on the achievements of the next generation of scientists—as well as awards for outstanding research and dedicated teaching.

The conditions could hardly have been better: Under bright sunshine and walking across a red carpet, guests streamed into the Apollo Theater. The anticipation for the highlight of the day—the ceremonial presentation of diplomas—was palpable. Even before the event began, many graduates took advantage of the photo backdrop featuring the sculpture of the faculty logo to take commemorative photos in their academic gowns and doctoral caps.
