Annual Report 2022: Knowledge creates future

University of Bern, main building. University of Bern - 2022 was marked by historic upheaval for Europe as a whole. In its new Annual Report, the University of Bern shows its contributions to solving problem areas which could well be exacerbated by global conflict situations and pandemics in the coming years. "What was once considered unimaginable has become a shocking reality," says Rector Christian Leumann of Russia's attack on Ukraine in the new Annual Report. For the first time since the Balkan conflict, a European country found itself at war. As a result, a large number of academics fleeing the country also ended up at the University of Bern. The Compass UniBE project initiated by the University is also intended to eliminate obstacles for refugee students.
