Alumni at the Bremer Town Hall

At the invitation of our alumnus Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte, mayor of Bremen and President of the Bremen Senate, we have the opportunity to come together for “Networking by, for, and with Alumni” at the historic Bremen Town Hall on April 22, 2025, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.

We can look forward to a private tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site by our esteemed host. Following the tour, there will be an open exchange over drinks and snacks, which may also include discussions on current political issues.

Please note: Participation is limited to 30 people. The registration deadline is April 8, 2025.

We look forward to fascinating insights, engaging conversations, and meaningful exchanges with our members and our alumnus, Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte.

Networking of, for, and with Alumni

Alumni meet alumni – out network lives this idea. That is why we offer an event for our members every four to six weeks as part of the series “Networking of, for, and with Alumni.” The idea: At an after-work event, a host presents her- or himself, informative and interesting facts from science, business, or society, or their institution and gives the alumni room for discussion. At the ensuing get-together, discussions and conversations can be intensified, and new contacts can be made. Do you want to be our host for one of these events? More information can be provided by our Administrative Office. To read about some of our last events, click here.

Summer Fête

Each year, a large number of alumni come together for a large summer fête. In a relaxed and cheerful setting, there is plenty of time that allows for wonderful encounters at the outside area of the Café Unique (Enrique-Schmidt-Straße), for having conversations, networking, and celebrating. Literal food for thought is taken care of in the form of grilled delicacies. The summer fête offers the perfect opportunity to engage in conversation and to get to know one another.

Career Prospects with Alumni

In the series Career Prospects with Alumni, established in 2017, we annually offer between four and six seminars of and for alumni of the University of Bremen – all taking place on Saturdays and at a central location. These seminars are all on topics that have to do with careers. The offers cover a wide spectrum and are addressed both to Young Alumni with questions on a career start and different career paths and to professionally experienced alumni with topics on professional change or development.
