The University Is Coming to Town

The university is coming to town from mid-October with lectures, workshops, science shows, guided city tours, talks, and the 50 Reasons WHY exhibition. Additionally, a celebratory reception will be held at City Hall on October 14 – the historic date on which the university was founded in 1971.

With more than 40 events, the University of Bremen will be presenting itself to the city of Bremen during the fall vacations from October 16 to 30, 2021, showcasing its CAMPUS CITY program. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of science and the university by attending talks, guided city tours, science shows, workshops, and round-table discussions at various locations – including the Bremen Cotton Exchange, the MARKTHALLE ACHT (marketplace eight), The old Sparkasse bank building at the Am Brill crossing,  the Huchting community center, the Bremen Übersee Museum, the Kunsthalle, the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus, and many other interesting locations. There will be something for people of all ages: be it a physics or chemistry show, a guided mathematical tour of the city, or events on political, historical and other socially relevant topics.

Registrations are open from October 8, 2021 at www.uni-bremen.de/en/campus-city . The 3G rule applies to all events.

50 Reasons WHY Exhibition until November 7, 2021

From October 15 to November 7, 2021, the 50 Reasons WHY exhibition will be on display in the Lower Town Hall. Why is the University of Bremen an important part of Bremen’s DNA? And where can it be found? To mark the university’s 50th anniversary, more than 50 iconic sites across Bremen State were unveiled. They show areas where researchers, teaching staff, and students are an important part of the economy, politics, administration, education, or culture – and where ideas and cooperation from within the university have created something new. The exhibition in the Lower Hall of Bremen City Hall will bring all the sites together. The exhibition is open between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Wednesdays to Sundays. Admission is free of charge. The 3G rule applies here as well.
