The University of Bern cancels Dies academicus 2021

In view of the rising number of infections and hospitalizations resulting from COVID-19, the University of Bern will cancel its foundation celebration, the Dies academicus, on Saturday, December 4. For the time being, courses and, in particular, examinations can continue to be held in person, in accordance with federal and cantonal requirements. Again this year the "birthday celebration" of the University of Bern cannot take place as planned and will be cancelled. "The honorees will receive their honorary doctorates by mail," explains Christoph Pappa, Secretary General of the University of Bern. Whether a celebration will take place at a later date has not yet been determined. Impact on other university events. The worrying situation also has an impact on other university events such as the Bachelor's Open Days on December 7 and 8, which will be held exclusively online.
