The Research Academy Ruhr (RAR) is the cross-location platform of Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen for the promotion of researchers on their career path within and beyond academic research. RAR's programmes are aimed at the approximately 10,000 doctoral and postdoctoral researchers who conduct research in the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr).
Informing, qualifying and networking together
The RUB Research School, the Graduate Centre TU Dortmund University and the Graduate Center Plus of the University of Duisburg-Essen pool their expertise in the RAR. The events offered under the umbrella of RAR are based on close cooperation and regular exchange of experience.
The joint interdisciplinary qualification programmes as well as career and networking events prepare academics for a career in research, business and society and promote networking with each other, both within their own subject group and beyond.
