YUFE Logo

In the YUFE European University Alliance, the University of Bremen works for a strong Europe and a union of solidarity and cooperation. YUFE (Young Universities for the Future of Europe) aims to network ten young universities in Europe and to implement joint projects in the fields of education, research and innovation as well as to strengthen exchanges at all levels (students, academics, administration) with our European partners. With various pilot projects such as the YUFE Bachelor's degree, YUFE4Postdocs and the YUFE Staff Journey, YUFE is developing new standards and innovative models for how universities in Europe can systematically grow together.
