10th anniversary of the RAPP Center

We were delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the RAPP Center with some special events!


The celebrations began with a festive ceremony attended by representatives from all participating universities, including Prof. Albert (Rector of the University of Duisburg-Essen), Prof von Keudell(Prorector of Ruhr University Bochum), and Prof. McElvany (Prorector of TU Dortmund ) .

A true highlight of the evening was the premiere of our planetarium show „Unser exotisches Universum“ (“Our Exotic Universe”), which captivated the audience with fascinating insights into the science of our CRC.
The evening concluded with a reception and refreshments, providing a wonderful opportunity for conversation and connection.



The celebrations continued with a scientific conference featuring international invited speakers, held in the unique atmosphere of the German Mining Museum „Deutsches Bergbaumuseum“.

Over two days, participants engaged in stimulating discussions covering the wide range of topics represented within the RAPP Center. The event fostered lively scientific exchange and helped to strengthen the sense of community within our research network.

We are proud of what the RAPP Center has achieved over the past decade and look forward to many more years of exciting collaboration and discovery!
