Research Alliance

The University of Bremen and twelve federal and state financed non-university research institutes cooperate within the U Bremen Research Alliance. The Alliance includes research institutes of the four major German science organizations, i.e. Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association and Max Planck Society, as well as the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence.

The cooperation in the U Bremen Research Alliance extends over the four scientific High-Profile Areas “Marine, Polar and Climate Research”, “Material Sciences and Production Engineering”, “Health Sciences” and “Minds, Media, Machines” and thus literally “From deep sea to outer space".

Our Vision

Our Vision – What sets us apart

A strong university promotes strong non-university research institutions, and strong non-university research institutions stimulate university development. The U Bremen Research Alliance follows this principle. We want to offer scientists the best conditions for free, innovative, creative, sustainable and cooperative research.
