2017/2018

20 Years of Future – this is the title of this issue of Yearbook which is now appearing for the 20th time. What expectations have the people connected to our University had over the past twenty years – and what do they think the future will bring? How did they experience the time from 1997 to 2007? What type of jobs did they have? What was the University of Bremen like at that time concerning their areas of work? This is what academics and employees of the University, its President and two of his predecessors, graduates, people from politics, business and culture tell us in a selection of short videos. Their statements have been illustrated in a graphic recording. All this awaits you on the following pages.

In the making of this Yearbook’s feature theme “20 years of future”, we spoke with 20 personalities from politics, business, society and the University and asked: What were their expectations of the future in 1997 and 2007? And today, what do they think the future will bring? We held interviews in which they gave answers to these questions.

During the shooting the Yearbook editors asked the interviewees to show them their favorite locations on campus. For example: The campus boulevard, the cafeteria, the university library or the tram stop in Lise Meitner Strasse. A selection of video clips can be found on the University’s facebook page under "videos".
