Water research reaches milestone
As part of the UA Ruhr, the partners have strategically developed their research together. The excellent water research has now won through with the "REASONS" project in the first round of the two-stage excellence competition organised by the federal and state governments.
Creative minds develop prototypes
When creativity and technology come together, ideas can be transformed into prototypes. At the CCLP, people interested in founding a company can make products tangible with the help of 3D printers. An interdisciplinary team is on hand to provide advice.
A cause of immunodeficiency identified
After surviving a stroke or heart attack, infections start to increase. A team from the UDE, the UK Essen and the ISAS in Dortmund has found a reason why the immune system is often disturbed after these health incidents and derived a treatment approach from this.

Admittedly, the Ruhr Area is not New York City. But almost.Living in Duisburg & Essen
At the UDE you will meet people from more than 130 nations in a large melting pot. The Ruhr area is a structure of superlatives: Germany's largest settlement area, right in the centre of Europe. Despite all prejudices, it is not grey here, but green. In 2017, Essen was named the "Green Capital of Europe". And the Ruhr region is rich in culture. So rich that the entire region has been declared European Capital of Culture 2010 by the EU. But while other conurbations always try to present their best side, the people in our region show themselves as they are: Imaginative, curious, open-minded.
