Digital Transformation
The University of Bremen has set itself the goal of using the opportunities offered by digitalization responsibly to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and promote free thought and action.
With new digital methods and powerful information infrastructures, we want to work more closely with our partner institutions in Europe and around the world—in cutting-edge research and for inspiring, student-centered teaching.
At the same time, digitalization allows us to make study programs and work structures more flexible, enabling us to better respond to a variety of life situations and individual requirements.
The Nutzer:innenbeirat Digitale Transformation advises us on this
We are your point of contact in the field of digital transformation for
- the management of cross-departmental projects and new project ideas
- project portfolio management
- requirements and framework for the use of AI-based systems
- federal and state-wide networks

The focus is on three strategic areas

Sustainability
Through digital platforms and networked IT services, we promote participation, collaboration, and exchange across locations and disciplines. At the same time, we leverage synergies to make processes more efficient and tap into new economic potential. With the “Green in IT” initiative and our Green IT Housing Center, we focus on energy-efficient, resource-saving solutions and develop systems in line with “Green by IT” that create ecological benefits and contribute to shaping a sustainable future.

Digital Transformation of workflows
By implementing digital tools and platforms, we want to improve communication and collaboration between employees in all areas of service, optimize workflows, and automate processes. Employees should be encouraged to help develop, test, and implement innovative solutions. We want to decide together how we want to work in the future.

KI-based systems
It is important not only to understand the transformative power of AI-based systems, but also to shape and utilize them, as well as to critically evaluate them. Our goal is to create good examples of how AI-based systems can be integrated into administration, research and transfer, study, and teaching in a legally compliant and simple manner. To this end, we must build up the AI skills of our employees and thus create a sustainable, modern university. This requires a technical infrastructure for AI-based systems that replaces sporadic and unsystematic use and creates reliable governance. It remains important to take a critical approach that assesses and continuously evaluates not only the opportunities but also the risks.

State Initiative for the Digitization of Bremen's Universities (LDB)
In view of the growing importance of digital innovations in higher education and the need for a coordinated approach to optimizing resources and impact, the State Initiative for the Digitization of Bremen's Universities (LDB) was formed. Its goal is to establish a cooperative and synergistic alliance between Bremen's universities in order to pursue common digital development goals and, in the long term, to offer joint IT services for research and transfer, study and teaching, and administration.
Cooperation of State Coordinators (KOLA)
In addition, the LDB participates in the Cooperation of State Coordinators (KOLA) for the digitization of support processes at universities. The aim here is to transfer the universities' cooperation activities for the digitization of administrative processes, which have so far been primarily state-based, into cross-state cooperation.
The “Cooperation of State Coordinators for the Digitization of Support Processes at Universities (KoLa)” aims to promote the exchange of experiences and improve access to relevant actors and resources. In addition, joint fields of action for services in all areas—digital teaching and learning, research, and administration—are to be identified. This will enable universities to jointly tackle the challenges of digitization with limited resources.
