Our Projects
First Round
Second Round
|
The door is open: The Ruhr-University (RUB) submits
full proposals in the second round of the Excellence Initiative
in the funding lines "clusters of excellence" (PROTEIN
Networks: From molecular Mechanism to cellular NETWORKS) and
"institutional strategies to promote top-level research".
On 19 October 2007 the decision will be announced concerning
the question which projects will be funded from November 2007.
In the first funding line "graduate schools" the RUB
had already been successful in the first round of the Excellence
Initiative: the campus-wide Research School has started its
work and is funded with approx. 1.5m € annually; it offers
young researchers PhD-studies with added value. The specialty
of the RUB concept: researchers of nearly all faculties are
co-operating closely and supervise PhD-students irrespective
of subject boundaries.
Structures and Strategies
For about the last four years the RUB has been engaged in an
intensive process of renewal. On the basis of its strategic
advantages (a campus university, a wide spectrum of disciplines,
front runner in the Bologna process) it has been pushing through
institutional reform. The aim is, as stated in the Higher Education
Concept 2010, to be in the top 10 DFG ranking for all areas
of research.
Important milestones are listed in the targets that have been
agreed between the RUB and North Rhine Westfalian (NRW) government.
These include the establishment of Centres of Excellence, the
building up of a research focus on "Global Change",
to the creation of a University wide Graduate School. The Centre
for Higher Education Development (CHE) acknowledged the RUB's
multifaceted reform by designating it a "Best Practices"
university in 2004.
