Quick start
Services for employees
RUB takes care of all its employees’ concerns. This starts at the place of work and encompasses issues such as flexible working hours, training programmes, health management, childcare services, assistance with relatives in need of care, as well as culture and sports.
An emergency can occur at any time. If that happens, the control room has to be alerted without delay; it is available 24/7. Depending on the nature of the emergency, control room staff will then alert the police or the fire brigade. Across campus, first responders resp. evacuation assistants in the case of fire are available to help; they are signposted in the corridors.
