Overview
Research Structures
With a total of nine research focus areas, Ruhr University pursues the goal of investigating research questions in cross-faculty clusters. The so called Research Departments form the umbrella for interdisciplinary research in larger alliances. The five research buildings at Ruhr University Bochum are used to realize large research investment projects, which are characterized by excellent academic quality and national importance.
