Doctoral Anniversary Celebration 2025: A Look Back at a Festive Event at RWTH Aachen University

On September 5, 2025, RWTH Aachen University hosted a very special highlight: a festive and somewhat nostalgic event in which our institute’s director, Prof. Dr. Radermacher, took part. With around 30 golden and about 140 silver doctoral anniversary guests, more former doctoral graduates than ever before followed the invitation of the Rector of RWTH Aachen – some traveling from as far as the Philippines, Brazil, Thailand, and the United States. Since 2004, RWTH Aachen has annually invited those who earned their doctoral degrees 25 or 50 years ago back to the university to honor their anniversaries once again. We are pleased to share some impressions of this special celebration, which you can explore in the accompanying text and image gallery.
