RUB was one of the first universities to introduce a Dual Career Program as part of its appointment strategy, supporting the career planning of newly appointed scientists’ partners. As of now, four CASA PIs have been supported through the program.
Furthermore, the Dual Career Network Ruhr (DCN Ruhr) assists partners of newly appointed members of academic staff in navigating career options in the Ruhr area, in order to increase the likelihood of a successful job search in the region. To this end, 20 research, economic and administrative institutions in the region have joined forces.
