Exhibition: Unissued Diplomas
16 Sep 2026
The international exhibition ‘Unissued Diplomas’ commemorates Ukrainian students who lost their lives as a result of Russia’s war of aggression. It puts a face to these young people – people with hobbies, dreams and plans for their future. Many of them wanted to complete their university studies and hold their first degree in their hands.
The “Unissued Diplomas” initiative was founded in 2023 by Ukrainian students. It honours the memory of those who, due to their untimely deaths, will never receive a degree, and highlights the impact of the war on young people and the academic community. Since 2023, the exhibition has been shown in numerous countries globally, including Australia, France and Japan.
The exhibition will be on display from Friday 18 September at the HLSB Fulda campus location of Fulda University of Applied Sciences. It is organised by the local E³UDRES² team. Fulda University of Applied Sciences is a member of the European university alliance E³UDRES²; whose network also includes the Ukrainian higher education institutions Bohdan Khmelnytskyi National University of Cherkasy, Cherkasy State Business College and Sumy State University as associate partners. Through this exhibition, Fulda University of Applied Sciences wishes to commemorate the students who have passed away and give space to their stories.
The exhibition can be viewed at the HLSB Fulda campus location until 17 October.
