Honorary Doctors at Roskilde University

The honorary doctorate is awarded by Roskilde University as the highest academic recognition. An Honorary Doctor possesses considerable scientific insight and maturity and has brought science a significant step further through research. In addition, it requires a special affiliation with Roskilde University which makes it natural to honor the person with the highest academic degree. The degree is awarded on the basis of an internal evaluation committee consisting of researchers in the same subject area or persons with similar academic insight. The honorary doctorate is awarded at Roskilde University's annual party.
