Retrospective
Assisted by members of the Rectorate and the University Council, Rector Professor Axel Schölmerich looks back on the eventful year 2020.
He naturally discusses coronavirus and its consequences for life on and, most importantly, outside the campus in detail: i.e. the consequences for studying and teaching, for research as well as for technology and administration – and how RUB managed to overcome these challenges. A full chapter is dedicated to the crisis within the crisis, namely the cyberattack. Accompanied by moving and still images, the Rector also talks about the highlights of this year, which was an exceptional one for everyone: awards and other successes, high-profile guests, new buildings, the virtual summer party and the online welcome party for first-year students.
