50 years of Paderborn University

Under the motto “Celebrating the future”, we celebrated the anniversary of the Paderborn University together in 2022 – not only with those at the university, but also with the public, the citizens of our region and the city of Paderborn! A colourful programme of numerous events took both young and old on an exciting journey through the cosmos of the Paderborn University. In addition to the five central anniversary events and the other cultural events, the diversity of the Paderborn University was particularly visible via the “50 Mosaics” series of events.

Congratulations!
