As one of the largest university alliances in Germany, the UA Ruhr faces up to its social responsibility, which does not stop at the borders of the Ruhr region. We do not only want to help shape the structural change in the region, but also work on solutions for the global issues of our time. Together, we are meeting the challenges and shaping the path to a more sustainable and fairer future.

 

Sustainable Development

The UA Ruhr fulfills its responsibility for sustainable development and is committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The activities of its network partners reflect this.

Diversity

The UA Ruhr sees the diversity of universities, research institutions and their members as an opportunity and diversity as a prerequisite for excellence. Gender equality is an integral part of this.
