Research and transfer

Applied research and development is a key feature at Ruhr West. Insights from the university’s applied research projects are used in the classroom to ensure a hands-on learning experience.

Researchers at Ruhr West’s seven institutes often collaborate with colleagues from other institutes. Moreover, the university’s innovative matrix-assisted faculty structure facilitates interdisciplinary cooperation.

One important goal of all research and development activities at Ruhr West is knowledge transfer, first and foremost to the region and the local environments of Mülheim a.d. Ruhr and Bottrop. Implementing research findings in practice in collaboration with local businesses is a top priority. In addition to its industry collaborations, Ruhr West also has connections to many scientific partners. The research projects themselves are integrated into national and international consortia.
