Networking from, for and with Alumni

Derk Sch?nfeld

“It’s always a pleasure to get together with our members, see exciting things, and discuss current issues. It’s really nice to see how the events help in renewing old contacts and in making new ones. What a great possibility for networking! Perhaps you find yourself in one of the pictures taken during an event or become interested in participating at the next one. We are excited about every participant!”

- Derk Sch?nfeld, Executive Director

Double Retrospective

To mark the 50th anniversary of the University of Bremen, a staged reading was created in 2021 as part of the project “From the Files to the Stage” by the bremer shakespeare company. Now – four years later – the University Archive is celebrating its 25th anniversary. On this occasion, the play about the founding of the university was performed once again on June 11 in the new Forum at Domshof – with the support of our alumni association. Numerous alumni were in the audience and enjoyed an exciting and entertaining evening with insights into the university's eventful founding history.
For those making last-minute plans: the University Archive will open its doors on June 18 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

How do we secure the future of care? – A recap of an engaging discussion

A question that affects many – yet often receives too little attention in political debates. This made the lively discussion at the House of Science in Bremen all the more valuable. Around 100 people took part – including numerous members of the alumni association, professionals from the fields of care, science, and politics, as well as students from the University of Bremen and the Bremen University of Applied Sciences. The discussion focused on issues such as the shortage of skilled workers, lack of trust, and the failure to implement good concepts. Criticism was directed at the new coalition agreement, in which the topic of care is barely addressed – which, according to Professor Dr. Heinz Rothgang, health economist at the University of Bremen and panel member, could also be seen as an opportunity.
The event was part of the health policy colloquium, which is supported by the alumni association. If you would like to be informed about upcoming events, you can join the mailing list by sending an email to gpk.socium@uni-bremen.de.

15. Conrad-Naber Lecture: Freedom in Polar and Marine Reseach

Together with the "unifreunde", the Alumni of the University of Bremen invited guests to the 15th Conrad Naber Lecture. We are pleased that so many alumni attended this special event and were able to gain exciting insights into the discussion on leisure in polar and marine research. The lecture also addressed how political events have radically changed international collaboration.
