Sonja Rose

1968 - 2024

Das SOCIUM trauert um seine langjährige Verwaltungsmitarbeiterin Sonja Rose, die am 18. Februar verstorben ist. Wir trauern um eine Kollegin, die trotz langer Krankheit mit viel persönlichem Engagement, einem offen Ohr für die Fragen und Probleme der Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter sowie einem herzlichen Lachen fast 30 Jahren lang mit dazu beigetragen hat, dass das Zentrum für Sozialpolitik und dann das SOCIUM zu einer Erfolgsgeschichte geworden sind.

Sonja Rose war fast ihr ganzes Arbeitsleben mit der Universität Bremen verbunden. Während einer Lehre bei der Senatskommission für das Personalwesen (der heutigen Performa Nord) hatte sie 1989 auch eine Station im damaligen Zentrum für Sozialpolitik absolviert, wo sie im gleichen Jahr dann eine Stelle als Schreibkraft in der Verwaltung antrat. Diese Arbeit hat sie mit Freude und Engagement fast 30 Jahre lang ausgeübt, nach 2015 auch im neuen SOCIUM – bis ihr die geduldig ertragene Krankheit Ende 2018 keine Kraft mehr dazu gelassen hat. Sonja Rose hat nicht nur bei der Verwaltung vor allem der Sachmittel mitgewirkt, sondern war auch kompetente Ansprechpartnerin in den vielen kleinen, aber nicht weniger wichtigen Details einer Verwaltung eines ständig wachsenden Forschungsinstituts.

Das SOCIUM trauert um eine liebe Kollegin, die zugewandt und kompetent ihre Arbeit gemacht hat– und die wir in den letzten Jahren vermisst haben. Das Wiedersehen bei der Verabschiedung der langjährigen Verwaltungsleiterin hat uns sehr gefreut und Hoffnung gemacht. Umso trauriger sind wir über die Nachricht ihres Todes.

Sprecherteam, Vorstand sowie alle aktiven und ehemaligen Mitglieder des SOCIUM sowie des früheren Zentrums für Sozialpolitik (ZeS)

Democracy. Diversity. Open-Mindedness.

Joint declaration of the Bremen research institutions united in the U Bremen Research Alliance and the State Rectors' Conference

Due to current socio-political developments in Germany, we, as Bremen's scientific institutions, would like to make our values and convictions known to the public. We are shocked by the plans to displace people and the plans to dismantle democratic structures that have come to light and we stand firmly and united against them – no matter how small or large the group of those who hold such views may be.

As a hub of science, Bremen owes its strength and appeal to its various institutes and universities, where a diverse and international community of researchers and teaching staff from all over the world work together. It is precisely this diversity of our academics and students that greatly enriches the creative potential of our institutions and our daily work.

At Bremen's scientific institutions, we work together on topics and issues that address the pressing problems of our time – in the natural and technical sciences, humanities, cultural and social sciences, and artistic-scientific research fields. This can only succeed with an open-minded approach and an international culture of welcome. This is and remains a matter of course for us as Bremen's scientific community. With this in mind, we expressly distance ourselves from all forms of discrimination, exclusion, and xenophobia.

We stand for democracy, academic freedom, pluralism, and respectful interaction with one another at Bremen's academic institutions. Our employees and students have a variety of migration histories and it is their commitment that enables us to carry out our tasks in research, teaching, administration, and operations. Students also represent our future in all areas of society. Our employees and students are indispensable to us, and we want to be an attractive and stable employer for them as well as a vibrant place to study in a liberal-minded region. We are committed to this together – with this declaration and in our daily interactions and communication with each other.
