The investiture will not be just any event. It will have a marked international character. His Majesty King Felipe VI and the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, will be honored in the same ceremony.

The event will be attended by another prominent figure, the President of the Portuguese Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, will also be present. It will be a carefully prepared event, and the University of Coimbra has shown its pride in hosting these leaders.

This distinction has a historical precedent; King Juan Carlos was named Doctor Honoris Causa by this same university in May 1989. The University of Coimbra, with more than 700 years of history, has kept a solid academic tradition recognized worldwide.

The University Statute of 1918 already contemplated this possibility. Three years later, on April 15, 1921, the first honorary doctorate was awarded, and since then, many eminent people have been honored. In various disciplines, the university has paid tribute to key figures in their fields.

Today, everyone has been delighted by this news because the Royal Household has officially confirmed the investiture of Felipe VI as Doctor Honoris Causa in Law. There is very little time left for this important event. The recognition is more than deserved, Felipe VI will thus join the legacy of one of the oldest universities in Europe.
