Climate university

The University of Bremen has been involved in climate and environmental research ever since it was founded more than 50 years ago; it is one of the world‘s leading universities in these fields and has been committed to the sustainable development of our world for many years.

On the one hand, numerous projects consider sustainability from a scientific perspective. On the other, the University‘s own activities are continually scrutinized to see whether they are compatible with ecological, social, and economic sustainability.

What this means exactly is described here:
