Next step in the competition for excellence: The University of Bremen has submitted a full application and a continuation application as part of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments. Two successful clusters are the prerequisite for applying. The university is entering the race with the scientific focus on materials science and its technologies and the MARUM – Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences – together with the University of Oldenburg. The decision will be made in May 2025.

 
 

MARUM produces fundamental scientific knowledge about the role of the ocean and the seafloor in the total Earth system. The dynamics of the oceans and the seabed significantly impact the entire Earth system through the interaction of geological, physical, biological and chemical processes. These influence both the climate and the global carbon cycle, resulting in the creation of unique biological systems. MARUM is committed to fundamental and unbiased research in the interests of society, the marine environment, and in accordance with the sustainability goals of the United Nations. It publishes its quality-assured scientific data to make it publicly available. MARUM informs the public about new discoveries in the marine environment and provides practical knowledge through its dialogue with society. MARUM cooperation with companies and industrial partners is carried out in accordance with its goal of protecting the marine environment.
