The Opening Ceremony will take place at the University Aula (Karl Johans gate 47), surrounded by Edvard Munch’s magnificent murals. The Rector of the University of Oslo and other official representatives will welcome the ISS students. Musical entertainment will follow the speeches.
After the ceremony, the City of Oslo will host a reception at the City Hall, which is also the venue for the presentation of the Nobel Peace Prize each year.
We ask attendees to dress in formal attire for the festivities.
