The University of Groningen is our strategic partner in our joint application to become a University of Excellence \u2013 it was great to start an exciting year together this evening,\u201d said the President of the University of Bremen, Professor Jutta G\u00fcnther.<\/p>\n<h3>Mayor Bovenschulte: University Is Doing Outstanding Work<\/h3>\n<p>In his welcoming address, Mayor Dr. Andreas Bovenschulte highlighted two developments in particular that, in his view, exemplify the academic excellence and strategic orientation of the University of Bremen: &#8220;First, the university secured two Clusters of Excellence last year, namely \u201cThe Ocean Floor\u201d and \u201cThe Martian Mindset,\u201d and is well on its way to becoming a University of Excellence. Second, the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, one of the most important AI conferences, is coming to Bremen this summer. Both of these developments clearly show that our university, its employees, and its students are doing outstanding work. I would like to thank everyone who continuously supports research and teaching in Bremen, especially the &#8220;unifreunde&#8221; Association.<\/p>\n<p>Karolina Kumar, State Secretary to the Senator for the Environment, Climate, and Science, also underscored the university&#8217;s importance in terms of academic policy and emphasized its international appeal: \u201cWe support the University of Bremen in its efforts to become a University of Excellence in cooperation with the University of Oldenburg. Science and universities are of great value to Bremen and have a strong international appeal: They stand for progress, attract students and researchers from Germany and abroad, and strengthen the region in the long term. Especially in times when science and democracy are under pressure worldwide, for example through authoritarianism, misinformation, and restrictions on academic liberty, close cooperation is more important than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>President Bruder: Top-level Research in Bremen and Oldenburg<\/h3>\n<p>Commenting on the cooperation with the University of Bremen, Professor Ralph Bruder, President of the University of Oldenburg, said: \u201cAs comparatively young universities, the universities of Oldenburg and Bremen have developed remarkably and, only around 50 years after their founding, are among the top research universities in Germany \u2013 especially when measured by their size. There are a total of four Clusters of Excellence at our locations, which means research at the absolute highest level. This reflects our research strength, which we use to tackle the very diverse, highly complex, and interdisciplinary challenges of our world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The focus was on a panel discussion on the topic of \u201cScience in Transition\u201d with an international perspective: In addition to Jutta G\u00fcnther, Karolina Komar, State Secretary to the Senator for the Environment, Climate, and Science, Professor Ralph Bruder, President of the University of Oldenburg, Professor Jouke de Vries, President of the University of Groningen, and Dr. Serguei Kouzmine, President of Constructor University, also took part in the discussion. The English-language roundtable was chaired by science journalist Jan-Martin Wiarda.<\/p>\n<p>The Northwest Alliance connects the universities of Bremen and Oldenburg with the aims of combining excellent research with social responsibility and developing innovative solutions to regional and global challenges. The numerous academic and non-academic institutions in the region, with which both universities cooperate closely, play a central role in this, as does the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK). The Northwest Alliance sees itself as part of the international scientific community, particularly in close partnership with the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. As the Northwest Alliance, the universities of Bremen and Oldenburg are submitting an application as a consortium in the second funding line for Universities of Excellence.<\/p>\n<h3>19 New Professors Welcomed<\/h3>\n<p>The 19 newly appointed professors at the University of Bremen and the 5 newly appointed professors at Constructor University were also welcomed at the New Year&#8217;s Reception. Jutta G\u00fcnther: \u201cI am delighted that we were able to welcome our newly appointed professors in a celebratory setting today. We are delighted and proud to welcome you all to the university community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The traditional New Year&#8217;s Reception for the University of Bremen and Constructor University is organized by the \u201cunifreunde\u201d Association. The association has the goal is to support science.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-hwrapper valign_middle wrap stack_on_mobiles align_none\" style=\"--hwrapper-gap:40px\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"https:\/\/northwest-alliance.de\/en\/\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Back to the homepage<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-post-elm post_navigation layout_simple inv_false\"><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_first to_prev\" href=\"https:\/\/northwest-alliance.de\/en\/new-years-reception-with-lots-of-excellence-and-ballet\/\" title=\"New Year&#8217;s reception with lots of excellence and ballet\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-meta\">Previous article<\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>New Year&#8217;s reception with lots of excellence and ballet<\/span><\/div><\/a><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_second to_next\" href=\"https:\/\/northwest-alliance.de\/en\/university-of-groningen-visits-its-alliance-partners\/\" title=\"University of Groningen Visits its Alliance Partners\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-meta\">Next article<\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>University of Groningen Visits its Alliance Partners<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the \u201cunifreunde\u201d Association\u2019s New Year&#8217;s Reception, the President of the University of Bremen, Jutta G\u00fcnther, emphasized the importance of close cooperation with the partner universities in Oldenburg and Groningen.
