Transfer plays a significant role at the University of Bremen – but what does the term “transfer” mean exactly? The university sees transfer as a cooperative process between society, businesses, administration, and academia.

For our yearbook theme, we will introduce you to people from different disciplines who embody our idea of transfer. They are just a small sample of many employees of this university who are dedicated to dialogue on a day-to-day basis.

"University of Excellence – Half-time" is the central theme of the University of Bremen’s Yearbook 2014. It is now a full two and a half years since the University was officially permitted to call itself a University of Excellence in 2012 – and we have therefore reached the halfway stage of additional funding through the program financed by the German Government and the Federal States: Time to take stock of the situation to date. Our Yearbook 2014 tells you something about the people and projects encompassed by the Excellence Initiative.

"Internationality" is the central theme of the Yearbook 2013, which is available as a printed or online version. Students, researchers, and university staff  "relate" to how they experience and live the intercultural diversity.
