In addition to research and education, transfer of knowledge, technologies and findings from research to applications is the third core task of Ruhr University Bochum. The RDN shares this mission statement. The RDN conducts excellent research with international visibility and is thus equally integrated into the regional environment and international networks.
By offering a number of training and knowledge-exchange, the RDN and its participating scientists and institutions pave the way for exchange between science, business and society. By making their knowledge accessible, usable and sustainably effective outside of university contexts, RDN researchers also receive new impulses in dialogue that enrich and challenge their research and teaching.
RDN and RUB make diverse contributions that are relevant to different groups and stakeholders in society. For example, they provide knowledge for a differentiated formation of public opinion, promote translational medicine for the benefit of patients and develop innovations in cooperation with companies.
In line with the guiding principle of "Creating Knowledge Networks", RDN and RUB seek dialogue with stakeholders in society in order to jointly shape developments in civil society, economy, environment and health.
Transfer mission statement of Ruhr University Bochum (in German)
Neuroscience is becoming increasingly important in many areas of science and business. With the BrainBusiness format, which was established in 2021 together with MedEcon Ruhr and GesundheitsCampus Bochum, the Research Department of Neuroscience has launched an exchange format in the field of neuroscience. Different disciplines - and in particular different perspectives from science, healthcare and business - should come together and learn from each other.
Excellent basic and clinical research has been conducted at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and in cooperation with the University Alliance Ruhr for many years. Developing the transfer potential from this research strength is a great opportunity! BrainBusiness invites interested parties to learn more about the latest findings from basic research, gain a better understanding of application scenarios in healthcare and to develop their use in an economic context. Companies and, in particular, start-ups can be users of the knowledge gained, but can also contribute to solving existing problems as specialized players.
