"Once again this year, we have received many innovative and courageous ideas that university researchers would like to put into practice," commented the president and chair of the board of trustees of the university foundation, Professor Bernd Scholz-Reiter. "They show that research is being conducted on relevant issues in Bremen," he added. "I am pleased that thanks to the great commitment of our donors and the voluntary members of the board of trustees, we can contribute to making this even more successful."
The search was on for transfer-oriented projects that contribute to sustainable development or strengthen social cohesion and provide an impetus for solving current problems – explicitly including the areas of equal opportunities, medicine/health, and sustainability/climate protection.
