The Research Commission of the Academic Senate (RC AS) has not only recommended the extension of the CRU status to the Academic Senate after the completion of its evaluation, but it has combined this recommendation with a praise that makes us proud. The ZWE ITB succeeds "in an exemplary manner in integrating research and teaching as well as theory and practice. In this way, it gains a lighthouse character that has a strong impact on the region." (Performance Description CRU ITB, RC AS). The Academic Senate of the University of Bremen unanimously followed the recommendation of the Research Commission on December 15, 2021, which allows the Institute Technology and Education to continue its status as a Central Research Unit of the University of Bremen until 2026. An overview of the Central Research Units of the University of Bremen can be found via the link in the blue box.
On behalf of all employees, we would like to express our sincere thanks for the appreciative work of the Research Commission and the positive decision of the Academic Senate, and we are very pleased to be able to continue our work as CRU of the University of Bremen.
