Together with all members, alumni, friends, and supporters of the University of Hohenheim, you can already look forward to the annual summer festival on Dies academicus with its traditional highlights!
The academic ceremony in the morning in the Otto Rettenmaier Audimax is followed by the awarding of numerous prizes and scholarships in a festive setting. The centerpiece of the Dies academicus will be the student booths in the Palace courtyard. The President of the University traditionally taps the keg. Those who want to enjoy a special summer evening in front of a baroque Palace backdrop can celebrate in the Palace courtyard until late at night with musical entertainment and a variety of international delicacies.

This year, we are particularly pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Arthur P.J. Mol as our guest speaker. He is one of the world’s leading experts in environmental policy and served as President of Wageningen University from 2015 to 2024. During his nine-year tenure, he made a significant contribution to the further development and growth of the Euro League of Life Sciences Universities (ELLS). For 25 years, this European university alliance has been committed to sustainability in the life sciences. We look forward to the insights Arthur Mol will share with us on the occasion of the ELLS’ 25th anniversary.
Go to the inner courtyard to experience the vibrant cultures of the University of Hohenheim. Hohenheim students offer a wide range of culinary delights and refreshments from all regions of the world at many booths. At the information booths, you will learn a lot of interesting facts about student projects and academic life at the university.
