Scientific Discourse under one Umbrella
The Umbrella Cooperation between RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) has been formally established on 29 April 1983, when representatives of the three institutions came together in Aachen to sign the founding treaty under the auspices of then Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, Johannes Rau.
From the outset, the goal of this international research alliance has been to intensify collaboration between the three renowned institutions and to strengthen scientific discourse in the technology sector.
The most visible proof of this is in the trilateral symposia that the alliance is holding in Aachen, Haifa and Jülich on a vast range of subjects.
The alliance also provides many opportunities for interaction during joint research projects, which help to foster professional and personal dialogue between researchers of both countries.
