Cooperation with Eastern European Universities: University of Bremen Receives Funding for Another Three Years

    The University of Bremen is expanding its contacts with Eastern Europe: As part of the German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD) Eastern Partnership Program, it will be cooperating with eight universities in Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Armenia over the next three years.

    The program enables stays abroad for study, teaching, and research. Members of the University of Bremen can visit the partner universities, and vice versa. The DAAD provides 48,000 euros annually for these stays. This makes the University of Bremen one of the most successful applicant universities in Germany.

    From 2026 to 2028, the University of Bremen will continue four previously funded partnerships: with Tbilisi State University (Georgia), Kyiv National Economic University (Ukraine), Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan), and the Kazakh Institute of Management, Economics, and Forecasting. In addition, four other existing partnerships have been newly included in the funding program: with Ilia State University (Georgia), Yuriy Fedkovych National University of Chernivtsi (Ukraine), Yerevan State University (Armenia), and the Armenian National Agrarian University.

    Projects Ranging from PhD Colloquiums to Master's Theses Abroad

    The collaborations cover the subjects of chemistry didactics, math, media studies, business administration and economics, history, European studies, and public health. Planned measures include stays abroad in Kazakhstan for students from the Institute of European Studies, participation by lecturers and doctoral students in doctoral colloquiums in Georgia, and stays abroad in Armenia for teaching staff members. Short stays for doctoral students or for master's students writing their theses are also in the works.

    University of Bremen Continuously Involved in Eastern Partnership Program Since the 1980s

    The University of Bremen has been participating in the Eastern Partnership Program since the 1980s, initially focusing on Central European countries such as Latvia, Poland, and Romania. In the 2000s, partnerships with Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia were added. Due to Russia's war-induced isolation since 2022, the partnerships in Novgorod, Moscow, and St. Petersburg have been put on hold. New partnerships were subsequently established with two universities in Kazakhstan and two in Armenia.
