Becoming a University of Excellence is the dot on the i [the icing on the cake] of 125 years of the WiSo Faculty.”

There are surely many ways to sum up the key takeaways from yesterday’s Open Day & Ceremony, “Impact and Responsibility of Economics and Social Sciences” as this vivid image, offered by University of Cologne Rector Joybrato Mukherjee.
Above all, however, yesterday’s anniversary ceremony celebrating 125 years of Economics and Social Sciences in Cologne provided a fitting and festive grand finale to our anniversary year.
So here just a few impressions from the day, accompanied by our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us in celebrating this special milestone! 💙💚
