Anniversary celebrations marking 50 years of the cooperation agreement between the RUB and IG Metall

Exactly one year ago, the Ruhr University Bochum celebrated the 50th anniversary of the cooperation agreement between the Ruhr University Bochum and IG Metall. The event honoured an exceptional partnership that has stood for successful dialogue between academia, trade unions and the world of work for five decades.
Numerous guests from academia, trade unions, politics and civil society came together to look back on their shared history and discuss future challenges and opportunities. The focus was on the importance of education, co-determination and academic support for processes of social transformation.
The film captures the day’s key moments, impressions and voices, and documents the diversity and vitality of this long-standing cooperation. It highlights the significance of the collaboration between the RUB and IG Metall for the development of academia, the world of work and society. It gives a voice to those who have been part of the journey and shows how the partnership between Ruhr University Bochum and IG Metall has developed over the decades. The film preserves memories of key milestones and highlights the lasting impact of this unique collaboration.

One year on from the anniversary, the film thus offers an opportunity to look back on a special milestone and to trace the history of a successful partnership which, for the past year, has been working in close collaboration with the Chair of Production Systems to help shape the interdisciplinary bridge between social science research into work, engineering sciences and industrial practice, and which will continue to provide important impetus in the future through context-based research, interdisciplinary dialogue and concrete perspectives for shaping the world of work.
We invite you to relive the memories of that day and watch the film of the anniversary celebration.
