If you ar an invited guest
As an invited guest, you have an important role to play in creating a festive Ceremony for our honorary guests. Below please find information you may need for your participation.
Dress code
Guests who are invited to the Ceremony and the banquet formal attire is required.
What does formal attire mean?
Formal attire means a tailcoat (so-called white tie) with a white waistcoat and bow tie or an evening dress or ball gown. Formal dress may also include folk costumes, kilts, military uniforms and official clergy attire that priests wear.

The central train station in Västerås is about 200 metres walk from the Concert Hall.
Photographs and film
The Academic Ceremony will be documented through taking photographs and by filming the event. If you are an invited guest, you will probably be included in the photo or film. The images may be published in public contexts and will be stored in MDU's image bank for three years, after which they will be deleted.
We at MDU wish to draw your attention to this and please contact us at event@mdu.se if you do not want to be included in the photos or on film.
