Every year the Faculty of Science and Technology at Uppsala University arranges the Celsius and Linnaeus honorary lectures in memory of Anders Celsius (1701-1744), astronomer and physicist, and Carl von Linné (1707-1778), physician and botanist, who were professors at Uppsala University.

This year, 2022, Uppsala University celebrates "300 years of weather statistics - from Celsius until today". The Celsius-Linnaeus committee celebrated this by inviting three Celsius-lecturers and two Linnaeus-lecturers with subsequent symposium.
