University of Venus

University of Venus

the first institute of Higher Learning established by Human Terrans after the Ascent on another planet in 2202.

As Earth ascended and many exo Terran life was encountered, United Earth looked for a place to store, house and research Xeno biological life forms without the danger something escaping into Earth ecology. The first Xeno Bio research institute was opened by Dr. Hans Neugruber on Venus where the famous multi billionaire scientist established the Neugruber foundation to collect xeno bio life that eventually became the Venus Zoo. The Neugruber institute became the foremost bio research facility of United Earth and scientists and scholars flocked to Venus.

In 2202 over 200 different Institutes and research labs existed on Venus and were combined into the University of Venus.

The University specializes in life sciences and offers very little other fields of study.

In 2244 curriculum was expanded to include medical fields.

Today the University is considered the foremost learning institution for life sciences anywhere and is the biggest of its kind anywhere in the Union.

More than a million students are enrolled at any time. There is a large body of teachers, professors and researchers in addition to a school for Bio Techs and and Bio System Engineers.

The attached Zoo houses the largest collection of non sentient life in the known Universe.

The famous Neugruber Bio Safety protocols are still in place and not a single organism has escaped in all the years.

The University operates many axillary research stations such as Station Bacillus where microscopic life is researched and stored.

The University is now a Federal Institute and accredited by the Science Council. The last ten deans were also members of the Hive of Minds.
