RWI Research Network – Get involved

Get involved

The RWI Research Network aims at strengthening existing ties between the RWI and researchers from international and domestic institutions. You can benefit from the network in several ways:

• Access to data. The Research Data Center Ruhr at the RWI Essen offers a range of different data sets, e.g. socio-economic data on a one square-kilometer grid, data on individual energy-consumption or a panel on hourly retail gasoline prices. Access can be granted either by SUFs or through the secure room as a guest researcher. Here you can find an overview over available datasets. 
• Visit the RWI for a research visit. The RWI provides funding for a research stay and we are looking forward to welcoming you to our research seminar.
• Possibility to publish in the Ruhr Economic Paper Series. Ruhr Economic Papers is a joint discussion paper series of the economic departments of Ruhr-Universität Bochum, University of Dortmund, University of Duisburg-Essen and RWI which present latest research results. We would like to invite you to publish your research there.
• Co-organize a workshop. The RWI Research Network provides funding for jointly organized workshops by RWI researchers and RWI Research Fellows. If you are interested in co-organizing a workshop, please approach your contact person at RWI.

If you are interested in using our datasets, visiting us or publishing within our Ruhr Economic Paper Series, want to receive additional information or have any suggestions on how the network could further facilitate interaction between its members and RWI researchers, please don’t hesitate and reach out to Daniela Flörchinger or your contact person at RWI.
