A moment of celebration on 27 January at the Romanian Consulate-General in Munich on Richard-Strauß-Straße: Ambassador Adriana Stanescu, representing Romanian President Klaus Johannis, presented the country’s National Order of Merit to Professor Hans-Peter Niedermeier. In his written laudatory address, Johannis paid tribute to Niedermeier’s contributions to the promotion of science and culture internationally, and in particular to his support for young academics from Romania.

Niedermeier has been an honorary professor at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences for many years. Ever since his time as head of the Institute for the Promotion of Gifted Students at the Hanns Seidel Foundation, he has been promoting international relations and, above all, supporting young people in the fields of media, science and culture. In Mittweida, too, he is actively involved in global student exchange programmes and chairs the selection committee for the Germany Scholarship.
