University of Duisburg-Essen

The University of Duisburg-Essen is one of the largest research universities in Germany. Our mission is to promote educational justice, support the diversity of our international students and early career researchers and to pursue research and innovations that are excellent and relevant.

Our researchers and their international cooperation partners contribute to solving the global challenges of our time. We achieve this goal through pioneering research into mitigating climate change, fostering biodiversity, preventing pandemics and curing diseases, discovering and developing new and sustainable energy sources as well as promoting democratic global governance and development for more peaceful, equitable and sustainable societies.

We cooperate with universities in all world regions in education and research. In Europe, we cooperate with eight European universities in our European University Alliance Aurora. We operate liaison offices in North America, Eastern Europe / Central Asia and Latin America with our partners in the University Alliance Ruhr. We are a founding member of the Ghana-NRW University Alliance and maintain strong university partnerships with leading universities in Western Africa and in South and Southeast Asia.

Partnering with the University of Duisburg-Essen opens opportunities for student and researcher exchanges, including participation in hybrid courses, funded doctoral programs, scientific career development, and equitable and mutually beneficial cooperation in pioneering research and innovation.
