RUHR EXPLORES SOLVATION SCIENCE
We shape a new scientific discipline, inspire the scientists of tomorrow, and enable future technologies
WE ARE RESOLV
Over 200 scientists from about 50 research groups in 6 institutions
ZEMOS: Home of Solvation Science @RUB
The first research building for Solvation Science in the world. Hosts over 100 scientists, it's home to 6 disciplines.
WHAT is RESOLV?
The Cluster of Excellence RESOLV is an interdisciplinary research project of the Ruhr University Bochum and the TU Dortmund University, as well as four other institutions in the German Ruhr area. Since 2012, about 200 scientists cooperate to clarify how the solvent is involved in the control, mediation and regulation of chemical reactions. Our research is essential to advance technologies that could reuse CO2 for chemicals production, increase the efficiency of energy conversion and storage and develop smart sensors. RESOLV is funded by the German Federal Government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia with 42 Mio. EUR over the period 2019-2025.

Video: The solvent of life
Water. It’s the most abundant substance on Earth´s surface and in our bodies. But is water a passive spectator in the animated scene of bio-chemical reactions inside our cells? RESOLV scientists investigate the important role that water plays in the most diverse processes, bringing solvation science into the spotlight.

igss summer school
The integrated Graduate School Solvation Science hosts an annual Summer School at the Ruhr University Bochum. The school always takes place during Whitsuntide and is an integral part of the GSS students' training during their doctoral studies. The seventh Summer School Solvation Science has been cancelled for 2020 due to the current pandemic caused by the virus COVID-19. Stay tuned for updates!
International speakers, suggested by the students themselves, are invited to give keynote talks on their research in the field of Solvation Science. The Advanced Laboratory Modules give the students an excellent opportunity to learn new and interesting experimental and theoretical techniques within a specific research topic of their own choice.
