Die Uni Bremen hat im Rahmen der Exzellenzstrategie von Bund und Ländern einen Vollantrag sowie einen Fortsetzungsantrag gestellt. Ins Rennen geht die Uni mit dem Wissenschaftsschwerpunkt Materialwissenschaften und ihre Technologien und dem MARUM- gemeinsam mit der Uni Oldenburg.

Forschung schneller zur Marktreife zu führen – das ist das Ziel des bundesweit ersten „innovate! Zentrums“. In drei Pilotprojekten werden ab 2025 nachhaltige Lösungen für technologische Herausforderungen entwickelt. Die Joachim Herz Stiftung fördert das Unterfangen mit bis zu 30 Millionen Euro.

Mit einem Senatsempfang haben Bürgermeister Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte und Kathrin Moosdorf, Senatorin für Umwelt, Klima und Wissenschaft, die Arbeit der Exzellenzcluster-Teams der Universität Bremen gewürdigt. Die Bewerbungen zeigten, wie stark die Wissenschaftslandschaft in Bremen aufgestellt sei.

Am 7. Mai 2024 fand im Kulturzentrum Schlachthof der Bremer Science Slam statt. Die Chemikerin Sara Sfiligoi von der Uni Bremen begeisterte mit ihrer Performance das Publikum. Sie erklärte, wie Zink-Ionen Batterien den Ausbau von Wind- und Solarenergie unterstützen.

Die Wissenschaftler Dr. Cyprien Verseux und Professor Sven Kerzenmacher von der Universität Bremen arbeiten an Lösungen zur Selbstversorgung auf dem Mars – und wie diese ein nachhaltiges Leben auf der Erde inspirieren könnten.
