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. One challenge is the transfer of knowledge gained into practical applications and commercial utilization. The Brain Business event series established in 2021 together with MedEcon Ruhr and GesundheitsCampus Bochum serves as an exchange format between science and business. The aim is to enable participants to learn more about the findings from fundamental research, to jointly develop application scenarios and to develop utilization in an economic context. The focus here is on companies and start-ups as potential users of the knowledge gained for solving existing problems.
