In the new 2025 Transfer Magazine, the University of Bremen illustrates how science, business, politics, and society benefit from each other. The magazine is now available (in German) online free of charge.
The 48-page magazine includes data and facts, interviews, and background information on the topic. “We want to use the transfer magazine to show how research leads to social innovation,” says Anne-Kathrin Guder, head of the UniTransfer unit, which publishes the magazine. “It is important to us to showcase the diversity of the University of Bremen's transfer activities. In doing so, it becomes clear that impulses and outcomes not only originate from academia, but also flow back into the university from outside – through collaborations, business ideas, and social issues.”
The magazine is aimed at those involved in politics, business, science, and anyone who drives innovation in Bremen. It is now available at https://www.uni-bremen.de/fileadmin/user_upload/kooperationen/UniTransfer/Dateie... and will be distributed in print to central figures in the state of Bremen.
How Researchers Become Founders and Citizens Become Researchers
The magazine guides readers through the various phases of the transfer process in a modern magazine style – from the initial consideration of new research ideas, to the launch and implementation of specific projects, all the way to their impact on society. The spotlight is on the people behind the projects: researchers, companies, start-ups, and cooperation partners who work together to develop new solutions.
For example, industrial mathematician Maximilian Schmidt explains how he and his team developed an AI-supported diagnostic tool for skin diseases and used it to found the start-up aisencia. And two professors share their stories: Karen Struve communicates literary research to the public through a variety of formats, while Rita Groß-Hardt successfully applies her discovery that plants can have three parents to plant breeding.
The Magazine: A Conversation Starter, Point of Reference, and Source of Inspiration
The magazine provides many examples of how diverse transfer can be – from studies on the hidden aspects of racist violence to collaborations with partners in the field to further develop long-term care. The magazine highlights that not only researchers, but also schoolchildren and citizens are involved in research: for example, in a citizen science project on social cohesion at the Center of Labor and Politics (zap) and an educational project on climate change at MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences.
The magazine also outlines the wide range of opportunities and locations available for knowledge transfer at the university and in the city – from the House of Science to the Forum at Domshof Banking Hall and the open-air laboratory in Bremen's Bürgerpark.
The Transfer Magazine serves not only as reading material, but also as a conversation starter, point of reference, and source of inspiration – both for those within the university and for external partners and the media. It aims to initiate new collaborations, increase the visibility of the University of Bremen as a powerful science and innovation hub, and provide impetus to the nationwide transfer scene.
