Endowed Professorships
Other important partners in research at the University of Bremen are the many private and corporate sponsors in the city itself and in the surrounding region. An outstanding example of successful cooperation between the enterprise sector, the City of Bremen and the University of Bremen are the University’s endowed professorships.
Over recent years, the relevance of endowed professorships for the University’s innovative potential, and subsequently that of the State of Bremen, has grown considerably. Thanks to the support afforded by foundations and enterprises located in the region it has been possible to strategically create endowed professorships and thus reinforce the University’s high profile areas.
