Under the title \u201cNorthwest Alliance: Connecting for Tomorrow,\u201d the two universities are applying for the title of University Excellence Consortium and aim to further develop northwestern Germany into a vibrant scientific region where cutting-edge research and social responsibility go hand in hand. <\/p>\n<p>The HWK \u2013 Institute for Advanced Study, which supports excellent research and internationalization in the northwest through its research funding, provided the ideal setting for the event. The HWK is a cooperating partner of the universities within the framework of the Excellence Initiative. Following a welcome by Dr. Steffen Bandlow-Raffalski (Head of Program Society, HWK) and the presentation of the Excellence Alliance proposal, the alliance\u2019s strategy and vision, as well as opportunities for political support to strengthen the Northwest as a hub of academic excellence, were discussed with the guests. In attendance were representatives of the Bremen State Parliament, the Lower Saxony State Parliament, and the German Bundestag, as well as representatives of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and guests from Groningen. Close cooperation between the two North German universities and the University of Groningen has existed for many years \u2013 at the same time, Groningen is also a Northwest Alliance international partner. In addition to substantive issues, the event also provided ample opportunity for exchange between the fields of science and politics and underscored the importance of the proposal for the region&#8217;s scientific profile.     <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA successful University Excellence Consortium proposal secures a long-term perspective for our cutting-edge research thanks to the seven-year funding cycle. We combine academic excellence with social responsibility for a sustainable Northwest,\u201d emphasized Professor Ralph Bruder, President of the University of Oldenburg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCross-state collaborations are always very complex \u2013 just consider the different legal frameworks in both federal states. But our intensive cooperation shows how beneficial it is to join forces to effectively pool academic resources in the Northwest and fully exploit the region\u2019s potential,\u201d stressed Professor Jutta G\u00fcnther, President of the University of Bremen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased that, as the Metropolitan Region Northwest Germany, we can support the University of Bremen and the University of Oldenburg in this important endeavor. An academic spirit of innovation is a driving force in our region. Through the Northwest Alliance\u2019s strong network with its diverse partners, this innovative strength is carried into the regional economy, thereby offering direct added value for the people here in the Northwest,\u201d says Eduard Dubbers-Albrecht, chairperson of the Metropolitan Region Northwest Germany, who will also be on site during the German Science and Humanities Council campus visit as part of the Excellence Strategy in April 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span>Background<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The \u201cConnecting for Tomorrow\u201d University Excellence Consortium proposal was submitted as part of the German federal and state governments&#8217; Excellence Strategy. Individual universities or a consortium of two to three universities that already have what are known as Clusters of Excellence can apply for the title of University of Excellence individually or University Excellence Consortium together. The clusters are projects funded by the federal government in which the respective universities conduct internationally competitive cutting-edge research. Bremen and Oldenburg have four such clusters in the fields of hearing research (Hearing4all.connect), animal navigation (NaviSense), marine ecosystems (The Ocean Floor), and sustainable space research (The Martian Mindset).   <\/p>\n<p>There are currently ten German Universities of Excellence nationwide. This number is to be increased from the current pool of applicants to a maximum of 15 universities. The German Science and Humanities Council will conduct site visits and evaluate the universities in April 2026. Following successful evaluation, the selected universities will receive annual funding of between 10 and 15 million euros for individual universities and between 15 and 28 million euros for university consortia, depending on the proposal. The decision on funding will be made in October 2026.    <\/p>\n<h3><span>About the Metropolitan Region Northwest Germany <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Metropolitan Region Northwest Germany is one of eleven German European metropolitan regions. Business, administration, politics, and academia work closely together to jointly develop the region and its future-oriented sectors and to position it strongly within the international competitive landscape. Members of the Bremen-Oldenburg Metropolitan Region in the Northwest Association include the districts of Ammerland, Cloppenburg, Cuxhaven, Diepholz, Friesland, Oldenburg, Osnabr\u00fcck, Osterholz, Vechta, Verden, and Wesermarsch; the independent cities of Delmenhorst, Oldenburg, and Wilhelmshaven, as well as the municipalities of Bremen and Bremerhaven, the Bremen Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) for Bremen and Bremerhaven, the Oldenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), the Elbe-Weser Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), and the two federal states of Bremen and Lower Saxony.  <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolregion-nordwest.de\/portal\/seiten\/about-us-900000302-10018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\" dir=\"ltr\">www.metropolregion-nordwest.de  <\/span><\/a><\/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\/mission-energy-transition\/\" title=\"Mission: Energy Transition\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-meta\">Previous article<\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>Mission: Energy Transition<\/span><\/div><\/a><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_second to_next\" href=\"https:\/\/northwest-alliance.de\/en\/forwind-wind-energy-research-in-the-northwest\/\" title=\"ForWind: Wind Energy Research in the Northwest\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-meta\">Next article<\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>ForWind: Wind Energy Research in the Northwest<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the initiative of the Metropolitan Region Northwest Germany, the universities of Bremen and Oldenburg invited political representatives to a parliamentary breakfast at the HWK \u2013 Institute for Advanced Study in Delmenhorst. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4712,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
