STARS European University

About STARS

Hochschule Bremen - City University of Applied Sciences (HSB) is a member of the STARS EU university alliance. The abbreviation stands for Strategic Alliance for Regional Transition European University - the network was initially called ENGAGED. Since November 2023, STARS EU has been funded by the EU with 12.4 million euros, initially until October 2027. In addition to HSB, universities in the Netherlands, Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Poland and Albania are involved.

The special thing about it: HSB is one of only sixteen universities of applied sciences (HAW) in Germany to receive funding from the EU to create a European university with its partner universities. This is an honour and a great opportunity to further promote the internationalisation of HSB in Europe.

The alliance combines the strengths of nine traditional, complementary European universities. The overarching goal is to build an alliance of committed universities in order to establish a future-orientated European university. It aims to create a new generation of students and innovative, flexible and diverse education and challenge-based research systems.

At the regular STARS EU conferences and working meetings, ideas can be developed and taken forward - for example on the topics of energy transition, the circular economy, start-ups and innovation or health and how the nine universities can learn from each other. Bremen and the region benefit from STARS EU.
