RWTH Aachen Campus
By establishing its new, extensive research park, RWTH Aachen University aims to become one of the leading technical universities worldwide. Over the next several years, the 800,000 m² extension site will see the development of up to 19 research clusters, complete with science facilities, office buildings, and integrated support spaces.
This major expansion of the university is not only expected to create about 10,000 jobs in the process, but also to bring collaboration with industry onto a new level.
Apart from hosting thematic research networks, RWTH Aachen Campus provides up to 250 national and international high-tech companies with the opportunity to establish R&D subsidiaries on campus and participate in the university's research and educational activities on a long term basis. In this way, the scope of collaboration between business, industry and academia can be significantly enhanced.
The new RWTH Aachen Campus extends to about 2.5 square kilometers, encompassing the currently existing campus as well as two extension sites, Melaten Campus in the Seffent-Melaten area and Campus West in the area surrounding the Aachen West train station.
