The application phase is now open! https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/cooperation/industry-liaison/transfer-award-at-the-university-of-bremen#c640013 Alongside research and teaching, transfer is one of the central tasks of a university. The commitment to social responsibility and to engaging in cooperation with actors outside the scientific system has shaped the University of Bremen since its founding in 1971. The University of Bremen understands transfer as a broad-based exchange process that encompasses cooperation and dialogue between its members and actors from society, culture, education, politics, and business. Transfer at our university is driven primarily by the commitment of its members. Their transfer activities successfully bridge the gap between science and society, thereby helping to overcome current challenges. This deserves visibility and recognition. What is the Transfer Award? With the Transfer Award, which will be awarded for the second time in 2026, the University of Bremen aims to recognize outstanding transfer activities that serve as role models. The prize is endowed with 2,000 euros and is awarded every two years. This year, for the first time, the Sustainability Transfer Prize, endowed with 1,000 euros, will also be awarded. Applications can be submitted until May 31, 2026 exclusively via the <a href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/kooperationen/transfer-mit-wirtschaft/transferpreis-der-universitaet-bremen/bewerbungsformular-transferpreis-2026">online form</a> .
