In Search of the Next Generation of Professors
Young researchers from Germany are active in research around the world. However, their expertise also continues to make them attractive to German institutes and universities. That is why the German Academic International Network (GAIN) invites German academics in the U.S. to a special conference every year. There, they can learn about career opportunities in Germany. Sylvia Hils, a staff member of the BeProf@BHV project, was on site this year to promote the career path toward a professorship at universities of applied sciences at the booth of the Hochschulallianz für den Mittelstand.

Democracy as a Living Process
What is democracy? What does freedom mean? What role do human rights play? About 60 students from Bremen University of Applied Sciences (HSB), Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, and numerous international students explored these and other questions as part of the “Project: Democracy.” Visitors can view their findings at the Citizens’ Festival at Bremen City Hall. The exhibition will be on display in the ballroom as part of the “Open City Hall” event on Sunday, October 4, 2026, and will be accessible to participants of guided tours. Following this, the exhibition is scheduled to be shown at various locations in Bremen and Bremerhaven.
The German Informatics Society (GI) honours Prof. Dr Karin Vosseberg
Computer science professor awarded the title of “GI Fellow”. Vosseberg is said to have contributed to the development of universities by establishing sustainable, digitally sovereign infrastructures. She is also being recognised for her outstanding commitment to promoting girls and women in computer science.
The university has four research clusters in which it works on a broad range of topics to address the societal challenges of our times.

A clear priority in the university's research and development activities is the area of energy and marine technology. A considerable percentage of the university's third-party research funding can be attributed to this area.
Research activities in the life sciences are largely built on the expertise in the study programmes Biotechnology, Food Technology, Medical Technologies and Physician Assistant. Apart from marine research topics ranging from marine microbiology to fisheries biology, application-oriented research in the food sector is also of exceptional importance.
Linking the disciplines of 'logistics' and 'information systems' in one research cluster allows us to conduct applied research to identify, evaluate and realise potential for logistics and related areas. This is how we connect different areas, including such areas as digitalisation and maritime processes.
The research cluster Tourism and Management brings together research in the areas of the international tourism industry (esp. cruise tourism) and general management. In both areas, the focus is primarily on strategic issues and application-oriented, practical research.
