LUT will confer the honorary title upon nine distinguished Finnish persons and seven distinguished international partners in cooperation in its next doctoral conferment ceremony. LUT University's seventh Ceremonial Conferment of Doctoral Degrees will take place at the Lahti Sibelius Hall on 28 May 2022.
"Our new honorary doctors include many of our long-standing partners in cooperation. We wish to thank them for the successful collaboration and strengthen our strategic partnerships in the future," says Vice Rector Jaana Sandström.
An honorary doctorate is a title granted to especially accomplished persons in recognition of their achievements. The person does not need to have completed an academic doctoral degree.
