Summaries

A glance behind the scenes at the ?bersee Museum

As part of the series of events entitled ‘Networking by, for and with alumni’, the ?bersee-Museum Bremen opened its doors to around 30 members of our alumni association – and offered a special glimpse behind the scenes. After a warm welcome and a guided tour through the new permanent exhibition ‘The Blue Continent – Islands in the Pacific’, Dr Volker Lohrmann led the participants into the museum's otherwise inaccessible magazine. There, with a wealth of expertise and passion, he provided fascinating insights into the world of insects and the everyday life of a curator. The get-together that followed offered time for personal conversations and exchanges in a relaxed atmosphere.

Alumni im Plenarsaal

Networking of, for, and with Alumni

Alumni meet alumni – out network lives this idea. That is why we offer an event for our members every four to six weeks as part of the series “Networking of, for, and with Alumni.” The idea: At an after-work event, a host presents her- or himself, informative and interesting facts from science, business, or society, or their institution and gives the alumni room for discussion. At the ensuing get-together, discussions and conversations can be intensified, and new contacts can be made. Do you want to be our host for one of these events? More information can be provided by our Administrative Office. To read about some of our last events, click here.

Sommerfest

Summer Fête

Each year, a large number of alumni come together for a large summer fête. In a relaxed and cheerful setting, there is plenty of time that allows for wonderful encounters at the outside area of the Café Unique (Enrique-Schmidt-Stra?e), for having conversations, networking, and celebrating. Literal food for thought is taken care of in the form of grilled delicacies. The summer fête offers the perfect opportunity to engage in conversation and to get to know one another.
