Researchers at UDE have shown that solid catalysts can sometimes behave differently than previously assumed during hydrogen production. This could help improve reaction models and make green hydrogen production more efficient.

The two universities aim to test new forms of cross-university structures, which will also be transferable to the UA Ruhr.

The Ruhr region remains a top address for prospective academics from American universities. 8 students from the University of Cincinnati, Lehigh University and University of California, Berkeley are currently Ruhr Fellows at the University Alliance Ruhr, 2 of them at UDE.
