At the 4th Melaten Talk event, six RWTH professors were named RWTH Fellows: Dirk Abel and Hubertus Murrenhoff from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering; Jochen M. Schneider from the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering; Rainer Waser from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology; and Rolf Roissant and Christiane Kuhl from the Faculty of Medicine.
The goal of the RWTH Fellows program is to honor outstanding professors at RWTH Aachen with excellent research achievements that have significantly contributed to the University's success. The RWTH Fellows distinction was introduced as part of the Place to Be measure within the framework of the Excellence Initiative. It carries an award of 40,000 Euros which can be used for research.
RWTH rector Ernst Schmachtenberg und vice-rector Doris Klee presented the appointment certificates to the new fellows at the Melaten Talks 2015 event. Furthermore, at the event, Professor Margret Wintermantel, president of the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD and member of the RWTH Board of Governors, gave a talk titled “University Internationalization Strategies – Expectations and Challenges.”

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
