UA Ruhr Liaison Offices
The liaison offices of the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) in North America, Latin America and for the Eastern Europe/Central Asia region carry the strengths of the Ruhr region as a research and study location out into the world.
The work of the international liaison offices focuses on representing the three UA Ruhr universities in the respective regions, making the Ruhr region better known and visible as an innovative research and science location and initiating and expanding international exchange. The liaison offices have already been able to initiate successful exchange and scholarship programs and scientific collaborations, thus making a valuable contribution to the international orientation of the Ruhr region.
The liaison office in New York City provides support in areas such as initiating academic collaborations, organizing conferences in North America, and fostering transatlantic exchange of researchers and students. For further information, please contact Ms. Nayar directly.
