Since 2021, the University Alliance Ruhr is expanding its cutting-edge, international research on pressing issues with the newly founded Research Alliance Ruhr.
Four research centers and one college were established:
- One Health Ruhr - from Molecules to Systems
- Chemical Sciences and Sustainability
- Trustworthy Data Science and Security
- Future Energy Materials and Systems
- College for Social Sciences and Humanities
The interdisciplinary research areas have been chosen based on the very strengths of the participating universities. The research centers are addressing major issues of our time, such as health, sustainability, digitalization and energy while the college’s main goal is to enable international networking and raise visibility in the field of humanities and social sciences.
In the UA Ruhr, formed in 2007, the three universities of the Ruhr area - Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen - have joined forces under the slogan “better together”. Already in its first two years of operation the Research Alliance Ruhr attracted more than 25 high-ranking scholars, including two prestigious Humboldt professorships. Up to 50 new research professorships will be established in the founding years until 2025.
The Research Alliance Ruhr has been facilitated by the Ruhr Conference, an initiative of North Rhine-Westphalia, and is a testament to the Ruhr area’s transformation into a vibrant metropolis of research and its promising future. The state government is financing the development phase from 2022 to 2025 with a total of €123 million.
