Today, it is a globally visible and networked university that strives to provide its students with a global perspective in diverse internationally oriented study programs and to offer researchers from all over the world ideal conditions for excellent research and teaching. <h4>Purpose of funding</h4> In order to enable the university's researchers to pursue more extensive projects in the spirit of internationalization, the Rectorate provides additional funds each year through an Internationalization Fund. Funding is provided exclusively for projects that are suitable for providing impetus for longer-term internationalization projects in teaching, research and transfer. The measures must be expected to have sustainable effects that go beyond the one-time activity and must be described in detail in the application. The submission of interdisciplinary, cross-departmental project ideas is particularly welcomed. An integration of the <a class="externalLink" href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/cooperation/university-cooperation-1/international-partner-universities/strategic-partnerships" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">strategic partnerships</a> and&nbsp;<a class="externalLink" href="https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/cooperation/university-cooperation-1/international-partner-universities" target="_blank" title="Opens external link in new window">networks</a> (YUFE and YERUN) of the University of Bremen and a reference to sustainability topics will be given special consideration.
