Andreas Wimmer, Lieber Professor of Sociology and Political Philosophy, received an honorary doctorate from the University of Copenhagen on November, 8th, 2024. The Annual Commemoration ceremony occurred at the Danish university, and was attended by Mary Elizabeth, Her Majesty the Queen of Danmark. As the university's website explains:
"Honorary doctorates are the highest academic accolade that the University confers without the recipient first having defended a doctoral thesis in Denmark.
The vast majority of honorary doctorates are conferred on non-Danish scientists who, as visiting teachers or through international research collaboration, have played a significant role in research and researcher training at the University of Copenhagen.
Researchers and research environments at the University of Copenhagen nominate candidates for honorary doctorates. The academic councils of the faculties concerned then recommend selected nominees to the Rector for final approval."
Congratulations, Andreas!
