NRW School of Governance

The NRW School of Governance is a research and teaching facility of the University of Duisburg-Essen focused on governance and public administration. The building houses academic departments, seminar spaces, and research workstations where master's and doctoral students conduct their investigations.

The school was established in 2006 with backing from the RAG company during its founding years. This launch period allowed the institution to develop its academic programs and research initiatives.

The school brings together politics, administration, and business perspectives in a shared learning space. Visitors encounter this blend through events and seminars where professionals from different sectors exchange experiences and ideas.

The facility is located on the university campus and is accessible by public transport. Keep in mind this is an active learning space, so standard university hours apply and it is best to check ahead whether visiting specific areas is possible.

The school maintains two permanent professorships dedicated specifically to ethics in political leadership. This focus makes it a rare place where moral questions in governance are not just theoretical matters but central to daily academic work.
