Together we are the "we": The roots of the success of the University of Excellence Bonn lie in its people. Like colorful mosaic pieces, their very different personalities, educational backgrounds and talents create a successful overall picture. In the #WeAreUniBonn campaign, we present employees, students, and alumni who, with their remarkable achievements, contribute to the success of our university. Some of them can be seen in large format in Bonn's cityscape: on the "Construction Fence of Fame" in front of the Academic Art Museum at the Hofgarten, as well as in the "Showcase of Excellence," the former window of a bookstore opposite Bonn Münster. Further exhibition venues are being planned. The team will grow regularly.

Do you have someone in mind who contributes to the success of our university?1Write to us and nominate them2for "We are Uni Bonn."
