Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 24204029
The Ruhr-University Research School promotes top-level postgraduate education throughout Ruhr-University, offering interdisciplinary research opportunities within eleven thematic priorities - from Natural Sciences and Engineering to the Life Sciences and the Humanities and Social Sciences. The scientific activities of the Research School build on long-term research fields, which have been developed with particular emphasis at Ruhr-University and from which the thematic priorities of the Research School were selected. All of them are interdisciplinary. They involve and will further stimulate cooperative projects from scientists coming from 19 faculties.
In the section of Natural Sciences and Engineering the following thematic priorities are offered: "Interfacial Systems Chemistry", "Plasma Science", "Materials Science and Engineering", "Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering" and "Security in Information and Communication Systems". In the section of Life Sciences the following thematic priorities are offered: "Macromolecular Networks" and "Neuronal and Cognitive Networks". In the section of Humanities and Social Sciences the following thematic priorities are offered: "Biomedical Ethics and Public Health", "Religion and Secularisation", "Organisation and Transformation of Semantic Spaces" and "Human Security in the Process of Globalisation".
The prominent aim of the Research School is the successful academic qualification of doctoral candidates. In order to broaden their individual qualification profiles by interdisciplinary and transferable skills, the Research School offers a structured research training programme with disciplinary and interdisciplinary training elements and courses in generic skills. Though the structured research training is strongly based on the research programmes of the thematic priorities, it likewise prepares the candidates to take over responsibility beyond disciplinary boundaries. In addition, the doctoral candidates are supported by a special career guidance helping them to prepare for further careers in science and industry.
