Central Academic Institutions

In the Central Academic Institutions, researchers probe the depths of precisely defined subject areas without being assigned to a specific faculty. The Cultural Science Institute (KWI) in Essen operates in the tradition of an international Advanced Study Institute. This interdisciplinary Central Academic Facility for Humanities and Cultural Studies is supported by the University Alliance Metropolis Ruhr.

Special Centres

In the Special Centres, “Centre for Health Research (CENTRIG)” and the Materials Research Institute “Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulation (ICAMS)”, top-level researchers work on evident challenges.

In Research Departments, top-level researchers from different faculties unite in a multi-disciplinary environment for a given time. Their main themes reflect the profile areas of the rub.

With its Applied Competence Clusters (ACC), the RUB builds a bridge between research and industrial utilisation of the research results.

Research Associations

In Research Associations, scientists carry out joint interdisciplinary work on various themes. They receive funding from the German Research Foundation, the EU, the federal government or the state.

Facilities of the “Talent Incubator” the RUB

The institutions for the promotion of young researchers - from the university-wide Research School to Graduate Schools and Colleges right up to the various young talent groups - make the RUB an internationally prestigious "Talent Incubator."
