Since December 2019, the University of Bremen has been part of the alliance Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE). Together with nine universities and four non-academic partners, we strive to work towards a European University that creates new offers and opportunities for its students, and expands opportunities for staff in research, technology, and administration. The alliance also aims to have an impact on the cities and regions of the respective partner universities. The alliance is funded by the European Union, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the state of Bremen.
Initial measures of the project are already underway: Students can participate in virtual teaching offers from the YUFE partner universities; we have been able to advertise several post-doctoral researcher positions across the alliance as part of our efforts to improve career tracks; and university employees can take advantage of continuing education opportunities from all YUFE universities.
The new event series YUFE Schnack (YUFE Chit-Chat) will start and give us the opportunity to get into (or stay in) conversation with those interested. As of March 25, 2021, a 30-minute Zoom meeting will be held once a month, during which there will be the opportunity for participants to meet the YUFE colleagues who are helping to shape the project at our university. The meetings are open to anyone who is interested and can be held in English if preferred. After a brief introduction, there will be the chance to ask questions, meet other YUFE supporters, and exchange ideas about future opportunities for involvement in the alliance.
