The U Bremen Excellence Chairs program is funded through the university allowance within the scope of the Excellence Strategy of Germany’s federal and state governments. Thanks to the two successful Excellence Clusters, The OceanFloor and The Mars Perspective, the University of Bremen was able to secure this strategic funding grant in this round as well.

The Excellence Chair holders are outstanding researchers in their respective fields and serve as key points of contact for collaboration with leading international institutions, thereby sustainably strengthening the university’s internationalization efforts. The U Bremen Excellence Chairs are regularly present at the University of Bremen, closely integrated into the university’s faculties, and conduct research in international networks alongside their colleagues in Bremen.

Excellence Chairs are primarily established in the university’s High-Profile Areas and further areas of high potential. Both Excellence Clusters also integrate Excellence Chairs into their research activities.

Five of the previously appointed Excellence Chairs will continue their funding for a further three years following an application process. Additional calls for applications are planned for the coming years. Further Excellence Chairs have also been appointed within the Excellence Clusters.
