The University of Bremen Foundation
Great motives for your engagement
The GOLDENE PLIETSCH 2026 is funding 10 projects in line with the NKK strategy
For the third time, the University of Bremen Foundation and its trust foundations made their funding decisions not behind closed doors, but publicly and with audience participation. A total of 12 ideas from the fields of research, teaching, campus operations, and knowledge transfer were pitched for a total funding amount of 25,000 euros.
Following a vote by the jury and the audience, the 25,000 euros were awarded to 10 of the 12 projects. In addition, a jury prize and an audience prize were awarded.

At the University of Bremen Foundation, your assets work for the knowledge of tomorrow.
How can we prevent Bremen from becoming an island in the North Sea? How will we manage life in old age? What does justice look like in a globalised world? Scientists at the University of Bremen are working on these and many other forward-looking questions.
Have you ever thought about how you can contribute, either privately or as a company, to finding answers to the challenges of our time and giving young people a future? The motives for getting involved in the University of Bremen Foundation are as diverse as the donors themselves. However, they all have one thing in common: the idea that knowledge moves the world.
As a committed individual, the University of Bremen Foundation offers you a wide range of opportunities to realise your own ideas and at the same time secure the future of our society and our resource-poor but talent-rich country. Because one thing is certain: research for the benefit of society and the economy needs partners - people like you!
