Final ceremony 2023
On 23 June 2023 we proudly said goodbye to our 25th class of the ZEI Master of European Studies Governance and Regulation with our Final Ceremony. We congratulate all our graduates and wish them all the best for their future.
Our students were honoured by Prof. Michael Hoch, Rector of the University of Bonn, Nathanael Liminski, Minister for Federal, European and International Affairs and Media of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and Head of the State Chancellery and Dr. Ursula Sautter, Mayor of the City of Bonn.
It was a special anniversary that our ZEI Directors Prof. Christian Koenig and Prof. Ludger Kühnhardt celebrated with our guests, among them many ZEI Alumni from all over the world, in honour of this year's class. At the same time, this event also carries a bittersweet note, as it was not only an anniversary, but also the last year of this Master's programme, as together with the retirement of Prof. Kühnhardt next year, the Master of European Studies will also come to an end. But we are also happy to announce that the Master's programme will be continued in its spirit in the form of a new programme at CASSIS under Prof. Ulrich Schlie (Henry Kissinger Professor for Security and Strategic Studies), who was also among the speakers of the evening, and that our international alumni network, which has grown over the years and consists of more than 600 graduates from 125 countries, will continue to exist.
Greetings from MES Alumni:
