New professors 2025

This year, Uppsala University will inaugurate 50 new professors at nine faculties. We celebrate this with popular science lectures and a formal inauguration ceremony in the Grand Auditorium on 14 November.

Ceremonies – an important part of university traditions

The Inauguration of Professors in Uppsala is a public ceremony at which the Vice-Chancellor installs new professors in their office and the new professors hold inaugural lectures.

The inauguration of professors dates back to the Middle Ages but has changed quite a bit over the years.
