Collaboration in the eight current interdisciplinary research fields focuses on creating and intensifying research partnerships among the more than 150 participating researchers. In addition, students and early-stage researchers are to be supported through innovative exchange and support formats that closely link research and teaching, as well as through joint and mutually accessible courses within the University Alliance Ruhr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gbp-section__inner gb-element-311d7099\">\n<div class=\"gb-element-632f5266 ic-about-us-card-container\">\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"gb-text gbp-section__headline\">Sprecher:innen<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text gbp-section__text\">Die Sprecher:innen koordinieren operativ das Kompetenzfeld und vertreten es nach Au\u00dfen.
