The AUFBRUCH graduate cluster is being launched as part of the structural transformation of the Rhenish mining area and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The graduate cluster for sustainable bioeconomy AUFBRUCH is one of the anchor projects focusing on innovative education and securing skilled workers in the Rhenish mining area and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the structural transformation of the Rhenish mining area. The graduate cluster brings together the eight key partners of the bioeconomy in and around the Rhenish mining area: RWTH Aachen University, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, the Cluster of Industrial Biotechnology (CLIB), Dortmund University of Technology, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Forschungszentrum Jülich, TH Köln and Hochschule Niederrhein. The combined expertise in biotechnology, chemistry, process engineering, logistics, economics, social sciences and spatial planning is intended to decisively advance the transformation of the Rhenish mining district into a sustainable regional bioeconomy.
