Day of the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering 2026
Table of contents
The Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering cordially invites you to the Faculty Day on Friday, June 19, 2026. All members of the faculty, our students and the graduates and their guests are invited to celebrate this special occasion together.
The ceremony will focus on bidding farewell to the graduates who successfully completed their studies, doctorate or habilitation at our Faculty between March 1, 2025 and February 28, 2026. At the same time, we will be honoring our Faculty's early-career researchers and presenting awards and prizes in a festive setting to highlight their outstanding achievements in studies and research. Following the ceremony, we look forward to ending the day with a dinner together in a pleasant and convivial atmosphere.
The event is organized together with the association "Freunde und Förderer der Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering e.V." and the Faculty Student Council Mechanical Science and Engineering.
