What Makes Us Unique
The Ruhr region has developed into one of the densest science regions in Europe. Right in the middle of it since 2007: The University Alliance Ruhr, which stands for technical and social change through cutting-edge research. Scientists from all over the world find attractive conditions here for a career in pioneering fields of research. Students benefit from a shared educational space.
Governance
The direction and management of the UA Ruhr is in the hands of the Coordination Council within the network - supplemented by an external perspective with the International Advisory Board in an advisory capacity.
Cooperations
Researchers and innovation-driven talents will find the best conditions for fruitful collaborations in a unique ecosystem of universities, non-university research institutions and start-ups in the Ruhr.
Ruhr Metropolis

Universities
Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), TU Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) have been working closely together strategically in the University Alliance Ruhr for almost two decades.
