ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë think ahead - and shape the future

ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë University was originally established in order to challenge academic traditions and to experiment with new ways to create and acquire knowledge.

At RUC we cultivate a project and problem oriented approach to knowledge creation, because we believe that the most relevant results are obtained by solving real problems in collaboration with others.

ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë employ an interdisciplinary approach because no major problems are ever resolved on the basis of any single academic discipline alone.

ÐË·¢ÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍøÊÖ»ú°æ¿Í»§¶Ë also cultivate transparency, because we passionately believe that participation and knowledge-sharing are prerequisites for freedom of thought, democracy, tolerance and development.
