The shared RESOLV flagship programme aims to conduct research on chemical reactions, industrial processes, and biological processes in a liquid phase (in solution). Solvent molecules are viewed as functional units that play an active role in solvent-mediated and solvent-controlled reactions.
Overview
University Alliance Ruhr
In the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr), Ruhr University Bochum, TU Dortmund University, and the University of Duisburg-Essen combine their expertise and resources to further expand their performance and ability to compete.

Under the slogan “better together”, UA Ruhr offers researchers many opportunities for cooperation and networking, while students benefit from the wide range of bachelor and master courses on offer with numerous opportunities for specialization. In total, over a hundred collaborations have been established in research, teaching, and administration, from which a culture of collaboration with many personal and structural connections has developed. To promote international cooperation, the UA Ruhr has set up two liaison offices for the regions of Eastern Europe/Central Asia (EECA) and North America.
A Research Council made up by eminent scientists from all universities and the vice-rectors for research guides the overall research strategy and the formation of UA Ruhr-wide transdisciplinary flagship programmes. Thus the Research Council established the first two flagship initiatives of the UA Ruhr in 2015: Solvation Science and Materials Chain.
The Materials Chain flagship programme combines and strengthens the entire field of material sciences at the three universities in Bochum, Dortmund, and Duisburg-Essen. The aim is to take a complete and continuous view of the entire material chain – from the finished component to the atom and vice versa.
