The year 2025 marks the 660th anniversary of the founding of the University of Vienna. As every year, on Dies academicus on March 12, the university's central public holiday, the founder Rudolf IV was commemorated and university honors were awarded. Since the 19th century, the founding anniversaries have provided an opportunity to look back on the long history of the university and a contemporary self-representation and showcase of achievements. On 12 March 2025, Nobel Prize winner Emmanuelle Charpentier was honored, the newly adapted installation “Nobel Prize and University of Vienna – Group picture with question mark” was unveiled in the main building of the university and various university history tours were offered for employees.
