New perspectives for material detection
The CRC/TRR MARIE has been renewed: Terahertz technology can be used to localise and detect materials at any place and at any time. Now the phase of prototypes and real scenarios outside of laboratory conditions begins.
From Stanford to the Ruhr region
Top researcher Prof. Dr. Xijie Wang has taken up his professorship for ultrafast electron diffraction at two universities. It is a first for the University Alliance Ruhr. In future, the renowned physicist will be researching at both the UDE and TU Dortmund University.
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.

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.
