On 24th May 2024 the UPV/EHU will hold an Investiture Ceremony for all the new Doctors who defended their theses in 2023. The Vice-chancellor of the University of the Basque Country, Eva Ferreira García, will lead the ceremony, which will start at 5 p.m. in the Aula Magna  of the University of the Basque Country, Leioa, and is expected to last for at least three hours.

The new doctors who defended their theses in 2023 and who wish to attend the Investiture Ceremony must register using the following form, which will be available up to, and including, 26 April 2024. No applications will be accepted after this date.

The Doctoral School will provide all the new doctors with an academic gown on the day of the investiture ceremony. For this reason, all attendees must be punctual and arrive at the Aula Magna  at 3:45 p.m., where they will be given further instructions by the organisers.

Each new doctor may be accompanied by up to a maximum of 3 people.

For this purpose, the organisation will give the new doctors their guest invitation once they have put on their academic gown. The accompanying guest will be required to show this invitation when entering the auditorium.

A photographer will cover the entire event, taking both individual and group photographs.
