Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and Technical University of Darmstadt make up the RHINE-MAIN-UNIVERSITIES (RMU). The universities have a combined total of more than 95,000 students and 1,500 professors and cooperate closely in research, studying and teaching. These renowned research universities are shaping the Frankfurt-Rhine-Main region as an internationally visible academic hub.
Between them, the universities offer more than 630 degree programs, with courses covering the entire spectrum of academic fields. In the future, they will combine their research strengths to offer additional joint degree programs. The alliance will increase each university’s academic potential and create strong research networks.
Close cooperation and intensive exchange are essential for science and research. The Rhine-Main Universities consider themselves to be a driving force of interaction – between each other, in the region, with society and business, and internationally.
The RMU was founded in 2015 and is based on the idea of a powerful strategic alliance, led by a team of strong independent partners. Through coordination and close cooperation, they foster improvement in research, teaching, knowledge exchange, and administration and services.

In the afternoon of 25 April 2025, twenty doctoral students and postdocs from the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU) met at the famous Eiserner Steg bridge in Frankfurt, just in time for the sun to break through the clouds. Right from the start, the spring sun created a relaxed mood among participants, who were eagerly awaiting the annual river cruise on the Main river. The trip was organized by Goethe Research Academy for Early Career Researchers (GRADE) which, alternating with the graduate organizations INGENIUM (TU Darmstadt) and Gutenberg Academy (JGU Mainz), organizes cultural get-togethers as part of the RMU Social Networking Events.
