AWARD WINNERS
The quality of research at the University of Bremen is illustrated by the high number of national and international academic accolades awarded to the University’s scholars and scientists. Among these, no less than three Bremen researchers have been awarded the coveted DFG Leibnitz Prize since 1999 alone. It is also a tradition that outstanding performance on the part of young researchers is rewarded by the University itself: together with its friends and partners, the University of Bremen offers awards for excellent degree theses and doctoral dissertations in all disciplines.
