In response to the resolution adopted by the Conference of the Heads of Government of the Federal States on March 12, 2025, the member institutions of the U Bremen Research Alliance are publishing their joint declaration: “AI Made in Bremen: Our Contribution to a National AI Strategy.”
Bremen stands for a responsible and socially embedded development and application of Artificial Intelligence. The research institutions within the U Bremen Research Alliance are advancing innovative approaches with a clear focus on Open Science, sustainability, and democratic values. The Alliance expressly supports the political resolution: what is needed are strategic investments in existing structures, the expansion of open platforms, and joint innovation initiatives between academia, industry, and society.
Even today, excellent research initiatives, transfer structures, and data spaces are closely connected in Bremen, working to realize the potential of AI in the service of people, and in the spirit of democracy, diversity, and open-mindedness.
As part of the national AI strategy, the U Bremen Research Alliance seeks to provide strategic and sustainable contributions—as a model region for trustworthy AI, a location for sustainable digital infrastructure, and a hub for open, interdisciplinary knowledge transfer.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
