The new dimension to international research training in Germany
State-of-the-art laboratory, computing and library facilities, a well structured scientific programme and special support service for foreign students provide a stimulating environment for young researchers to excel in science. Dedicated supervision and mentoring arrangements, the training of transferable skills, and a transdisciplinary Science College to tackle overarching issues of our society prepare for professional perspectives beyond a pure academic career.

"How biogas gets into the pipeline" and what needs to be done "to make sure knowledge does not retire (with the employees)" are just two of altogether twelve topics with which the scientific magazine RUBIN presents projects from the European Framework Programme.

All articles share the aspect of close cooperation by scientists from the Ruhr-Universität with other groups of European researchers. With this issue, RUBIN is now being published completely in English for the first time.
