Ilisimatusarfik's annual celebration

Once a year, we gather for a very special event: the annual celebration at Ilisimatusarfik.

This is the day when we celebrate Ilisimatusarfik's work and role in society.

The program includes inspiring speeches, communal singing, and the solemn awarding of PhD degrees.

This year, we will also award Ilisimatusarfik's highest honorary title: the honorary doctorate.

After the ceremony, we will continue the celebration with a reception, where we will mark everything we have achieved - and everything we are yet to achieve.
