Professor at Halmstad University (already inaugurated)
Here is some useful information about the Academic Ceremony for Halmstad University’s already inaugurated professors.
Professors’ lunch at Halmstad Castle
You are invited to the Professors’ lunch at Halmstad Castle. The County Governor is the host, and the guests are, in addition to this year’s installandi and honorary doctor, the University’s already inaugurated professors, the University Management and the Student Union President. No external guests/relatives are invited to the lunch. Transport by bus is offered to and from the University.
Mingle and procession
As a professor at the University, you will participate in the procession and to sit together with the other professors during the ceremony. Before the ceremony, those who will participate in the procession gather and mingle on the second floor in the I building, next to the University Hall. No relatives or other guests are invited to the mingle. These take their seats directly at the tables in the University Hall. Staff on site will inform which tables apply.
When the procession reaches the stage, proceed to designated seats at the side of the stage where you and the other professors will sit throughout the ceremony.
Dress code
For participants in the ceremonial procession: white tie or formal attire. In the procession and during the ceremony, the University’s already inaugurated professors wear the University’s professorial capes. They will be available at the mingle. After the ceremony, the capes are collected. No dress code but festive attire for other guests attending the Ceremony.
Use of the doctoral hat
If you have been conferred and have a doctoral hat, you are welcome to bring it to the academic ceremony. Until the conferment part of the ceremony, the hat should be on the table in front of you, or in your lap. You put your hat on at the same time as the promotor puts his or her laurel wreath on and invites the guests who have a doctoral hat to put their hat on. You then wear the hat on your head for the rest of the ceremony. If you are taking part in the procession, you will carry your hat in your hand during the procession.
Foreign doctoral hats are permitted. A general rule for the use of doctoral hats is that they are worn when the promotor wears his or her hat/wreath.
