Further Funding for Collaborative Research Center in Astronomy

There is a lot going on in the skies: Stars are born and die, charged particles, radiation and neutrinos collide and influence each other. The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1491 “Cosmic Interacting Matters” began investigating these interactions in space in 2022. The researchers can now continue their work for another four years: The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved further funding for the CRC, of which Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) is the lead institution. Physicists from TU Dortmund University are also participating. The CRC makes a significant contribution to the research strengths of RUB and TU Dortmund University within the Ruhr Innovation Lab, in which the two universities have joined forces as part of the Excellence Strategy.
