The Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences (abbreviated: HRW) is a state university of applied sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia with an engineering focus, which was founded by the state government in the winter semester of 2009.
HRW's research focuses on energy systems and economics, vehicle information technology, cognitive systems technology, applied measurement and automation technology, as well as international economy and network economics.
The university works closely with local companies. Endowed professorships are held by RWE , Tengelmann and the savings banks in Mülheim an der Ruhr and Bottrop.
Among the business partners of HRW are u. a. the RWW , the Siemens Energy Sector , the Movie Park Germany , the Salzgitter AG , Europipe and Dekra .
history
On May 28, 2008, the NRW state government launched a competition to found three new universities of applied sciences, two of which should be located in the Ruhr area . The cities of Mülheim and Bottrop applied together, supported by numerous companies in the region, to found the new technical college with a focus on science and technology. On November 28, 2008, the application for the University of Applied Sciences Western Ruhr Area was accepted by the State Cabinet. HRW started operations at the beginning of the winter semester 2009, 80 students were enrolled in the subjects of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering and energy systems. Study operations began before the final locations in Mülheim and Bottrop were completed. Until the move to the newly constructed buildings, the university was housed in container villages.
Mülheim an der Ruhr location ⊙
Between 2009 and 2012, the university was initially operated in rented rooms and additionally erected containers on the grounds of the Siemens technology park . A pavilion village as an interim location in Styrum was opened in March 2012.
For the final campus, the new building was built in the Broich district . According to current planning, the University of Applied Sciences in the Ruhrbania integrate -Promenade, the new college on the site of the former emerged repair shop of the Federal Railroad on the Duisburg street.
The two-stage competition for the planning of the university campus ended with the jury meeting at the end of November 2010. The winner of this process was the architecture firm HPP ( Hentrich -Petschnigg & Partner) from Düsseldorf, together with ASTOC Architects & Planners, Winter Ingenieure and the Oberhausen GmbH planning group. The campus was officially opened on June 6, 2016. On June 11th, a big opening ceremony took place on this occasion. a. presented the various research and teaching areas to the public.
The university complex on Duisburger Straße has a gross floor area of 62,500 square meters, consisting of a total of eight buildings: four institute buildings, a lecture hall center, a building with a library and service center, a cafeteria and a parking garage. The two- to six-storey buildings are equipped with bright clinker brick facades, large windows and red sun protection slats. The total investment volume was 139 million euros including the purchase of land.

Bottrop site ⊙
For the campus in Bottrop, the building and property company NRW decided to design the "Working Group h4a Gessert + Randecker + Legner Architects and Vögele Architects" with Kaufer + Passer and the Oberhausen GmbH planning group.
In July 2013 the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on the Bottrop campus and in October 2014 the new building at Bottrop Lützowstraße 5 was inaugurated. Modern lecture halls, laboratories, cafeteria and library are now available to students.

The International Office coordinates all activities abroad and is the central point of contact for students planning a stay abroad, as well as for international students and visiting researchers at HRW.
The HRW FabLab has been active within the maker community across all locations since 2012 and offers the Fab Academy in cooperation with Neil Gershenfeld .
Current research collaborations and research contacts of the Institute of Computer Science exist. a. with the TU Ilmenau , the Ruhr University Bochum , the University of Bielefeld , the University of Duisburg-Essen , the ENSTA ParisTech , the University of Graz and the University of Applied Sciences South Westphalia .
Cooperation with the economy
The university works closely with local companies. The courses are to be developed in coordination with the supporting companies and after comparison with the range of courses in North Rhine-Westphalia. Companies from the region have already confirmed 200 apprenticeships for dual studies. In addition, four endowed professorships have been confirmed, which are supported by RWE , Tengelmann and the savings banks in Mülheim an der Ruhr and Bottrop. In addition, 100 companies have already joined together in the HRW association.
