University of Bremen: The university foundation and trust foundations support 16 projects
The Board of Trustees of the University of Bremen Foundation supports 16 new projects together with the trust foundations. They receive funds worth around 60,000 euros. Topics include Bremen’s colonial past, climate protection, climate justice and cross-border literature.
“Again this year, we received many innovative and courageous ideas that university scientists would like to implement,” said the rector and chairman of the board of trustees of the university foundation, Professor Bernd Scholz-Reiter. “They show that research is being carried out on relevant issues in Bremen. “I am pleased that, thanks to the great commitment of our founders and the honorary board of trustees, we can contribute to making this even more successful.”
We were looking for transfer-oriented projects that make a contribution to sustainable development or strengthening social cohesion and provide an impetus for solving current problems – expressly also in the areas of equal opportunities, medicine/health and sustainability/climate protection.

By the end of March, 22 applications for funding from scientists at the University of Bremen with an application volume of around 90,000 euros had been received in response to the call for proposals by the University of Bremen Foundation in January. The foundations consult together once a year on the projects applied for, taking into account their own priorities and funding strategies.
