Annual Academic Celebration 2025
Dear members and relatives, alumni and alumnae, friends and supporters of Ruhr-Universität Bochum,
it gives me great pleasure to invite you to this year's Academic Anniversary Celebration:
26. Academic Annual Celebration
on Wednesday, November 19, 2025
at 5 p.m. in the Audimax of Ruhr-Universität Bochum
Our celebration this year is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Ruhr-Universität under the motto "RUB 60 - built to change since 1965". I am delighted to welcome NRW Science Minister Ina Brandes MdL as a special guest to our celebrations to mark our anniversary.
I am also delighted that we have been able to secure a RUB alumnus as this year's keynote speaker , who has played a key role in shaping the debate on educational equality and equal opportunities in Germany from the perspective of migration and educational sociology:
Prof. Dr. Aladin El-Mafaalani
Department of Sociology of Migration and Education
Dortmund University of Technology
Further program items
The event will again be accompanied musically by Prof. Dr. Ivan Habernal and his jazz septet.
Following these diverse impulses, we cordially invite you to a get-together in the coffee bar. You can look forward to personal discussions with many old and new acquaintances!
Yours
Prof. Dr. Martin Paul,
Rector
