New rooms on campus: CRC 1475 is also moving

As part of the relocation of the Center for Religious Studies (CERES), the CRC 1475 “Metaphors of Religion” is also moving to the campus of Ruhr University Bochum. The move is already in full swing and will be completed in stages over the coming weeks. In the future, the CRC will also be located in the GB building.

The move affects numerous Principal Investigators (PIs) of the consortium as well as the spokesperson, Prof. Dr. Volkhard Krech. The Graduate School of Metaphor and Religion (GSMR) and the Coordination Office are also moving to the campus and will continue their work there in the future.

The new location also brings greater physical proximity to other PIs of the Collaborative Research Center whose offices are already located on campus. This facilitates personal interaction in day-to-day research and creates additional opportunities for spontaneous encounters, more intensive collaboration, and closer contact among the participating researchers.

While the new spaces are being set up, the Collaborative Research Center is already looking forward to the upcoming project phases at the new location and to the expanded opportunities for exchange, cooperation, and collaborative work on campus.
