Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, University of Helsinki have stated that all the big events in the spring 2021, such as the conferment ceremony, should be postponed. Therefore, the attending faculties have decided that the 99^th conferment ceremony is postponed to the spring 2022. Postponing the event for a year ensures us the safest situation as possible and retains all the traditional aspects of the ceremony.

The new dates of the ceremony are 26-28^th May 2022 and Flower’s Day 13^th May 2022.

To keep the size of the event reasonable, this ceremony is only for the masters and doctors whose degrees have been approved prior to the 31st of July 2021. The registration starts on the 18th of October 2021. More information about the event is updated during the year. Please follow our website and social media for upcoming updates.

We want to thank all the people who are interested in the conferment ceremony. We wish to see all of you celebrating with us in spring 2022!
