Award Ceremony for Outstanding Doctoral Supervision

What makes a successful doctorate? Naturally, one's own academic achievements – but equally important is dedicated supervision! To honor this, the University of Bremen presents the “Award for Outstanding Doctoral Supervision” every two years – with the support of our alumni association. The award recognizes professors who are especially committed to supporting their doctoral candidates. It comes with a prize of 2,000 euros awarded to two recipients. Who will receive the award in 2025? Find out live at the festive award ceremony on Wednesday, July 2, at 5 p.m. in the Campus Space of Sparkasse Bremen.
At the subsequent get-together, there will be an opportunity to exchange ideas with the awardees and other guests over drinks and snacks.

Facade of the Übersee-Museum

Übersee-Museum

The “Übersee-Museum Bremen” is the only museum in Europe that takes a holistic approach to ethnology, natural history, and trade relations with countries outside Europe. As part of our series “Networking of, for, and with Alumni”, you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to join a guided tour outside regular opening hours on September 4, 2025, at 5:30 PM! The new permanent exhibition “The Blue Continent – Islands in the Pacific” offers exciting insights into the diverse cultures and environments of the Pacific region. Following the tour, Dr. Volker Lohrmann will open the museum’s collection storage for us and share his expertise, guiding us into the fascinating world of insects. We’ll round off the evening with a relaxed get-together including drinks and snacks. The number of participants is limited to 30. Click here to register:

Networking of, for, and with Alumni

Alumni meet alumni – out network lives this idea. That is why we offer an event for our members every four to six weeks as part of the series “Networking of, for, and with Alumni.” The idea: At an after-work event, a host presents her- or himself, informative and interesting facts from science, business, or society, or their institution and gives the alumni room for discussion. At the ensuing get-together, discussions and conversations can be intensified, and new contacts can be made. Do you want to be our host for one of these events? More information can be provided by our Administrative Office. To read about some of our last events, click here.

Summer Fête

Each year, a large number of alumni come together for a large summer fête. In a relaxed and cheerful setting, there is plenty of time that allows for wonderful encounters at the outside area of the Café Unique (Enrique-Schmidt-Straße), for having conversations, networking, and celebrating. Literal food for thought is taken care of in the form of grilled delicacies. The summer fête offers the perfect opportunity to engage in conversation and to get to know one another.

Career Prospects with Alumni

In the series Career Prospects with Alumni, established in 2017, we annually offer between four and six seminars of and for alumni of the University of Bremen – all taking place on Saturdays and at a central location. These seminars are all on topics that have to do with careers. The offers cover a wide spectrum and are addressed both to Young Alumni with questions on a career start and different career paths and to professionally experienced alumni with topics on professional change or development.
