Together, we are developing and shaping Bochum as a City of Knowledge. In doing so, we rely on close cooperation with stakeholders from science, administration, business and urban society. As an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional knowledge network, we live the idea of
working together. To this end, all our partners use their individual strengths in a targeted manner for the common cause.
With our innovative formats, we establish a dialog between science, municipalities and the entire urban society. In doing so, we provide impetus for an open culture of innovation and transfer in the spirit of knowledge-based urban development.
Encounters and exchanges are important to us – in line with the idea of co-creating together. That is why UniverCity organizes many different events where people can get in touch with each other. In addition, we actively participate in the event formats of our broad-based network in a spirit of partnership.
No events are planned at the moment.
