Constructor University continues its tradition of fostering world-class research and cross-generational scientific exchange: Dr. Vinaya Siby, a 2025 PhD graduate under the mentorship of Prof. Ulrich Kortz, was selected as the sole representative from Bremen to attend the historic 75th Anniversary Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Held from June 28 to July 3, 2026 at Lake Constance in southern Germany, this highly competitive, invitation-only event brought together 75 Nobel Laureates and approximately 600 of the world’s most promising young scientists.

Many thanks to all former and current team members who have contributed to this success.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is world-renowned for advancing the frontiers of science, and this January its MIT-Germany program – part of the MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI) – collaborated with Constructor University on a localized mission in Germany: to inspire and equip Bremen’s next generation of scientists. For the ninth consecutive year, students from MIT and Constructor University came together to deliver MINTernational – a collaborative educational initiative that brought 26 STEM-oriented high-school students from Bremen to the Constructor University campus for a week-long, immersive series of science workshops. This year’s event was once again sponsored by the Bremer Schütting-Stiftung foundation, enabling all students to participate free of charge.
