Combined expertise
Science can better tackle many of the global challenges of our time by working together. At the same time, people in science need a good environment in which they can further develop and implement their approaches. The realization of an excellent, internationally flourishing scientific landscape on the Rhine with a global orientation and perspective is the common perspective in BORA.
