Erasmus Staff Mobility Week 2026

The Bremen Erasmus Staff Mobility Week 2026 (20/04 - 24/04) will include a library stream organized by Bremen State and University Library.

The stream will cover a range of topics including the strategic goals of libraries, diversity, learning spaces, information skills, artificial intelligence, research data management and open access as well as rare books and manuscripts. There will also be joint activities with the participants of the "regular stream" of the staff mobility week organized by the universities of Bremen.

Individual meetings with our library experts on these and other topics will be arranged on demand.

We look forward to meeting librarians from other countries. 

If you have any questions, please contact our Erasmus library team: erasmuslibrary@suub.uni-bremen.de
