Team Spaces and Co-Working
Rooms, technical equipment and networks for budding start-ups
Joining forces, meeting, brainstorming, networking, presenting and developing ideas together with others: WORLDFACTORY start-up teams can do all of this in our team and co-working spaces in Uni-Forum Ost (UFO for short) and in the city centre of Bochum.
Team spaces and co-working in UFO
Are you a student, researcher or lecturer at RUB looking for rooms for team meetings, seminars and conferences? UFO offers you the opportunity to use its co-working space or one of the team spaces for these purposes. The co-working space can accommodate up to 76 people. The three team spaces are available for groups of up to eight, ten or twelve people. There are lockers for work materials and a kitchenette.
Offices in the city centre of Bochum
Are you part of a WORLDFACTORY start-up team of at least three members and looking for office space? Feel free to submit an application for free office space in the Bochum Funkhaus to us and the Bochum Economic Development Agency. The fully equipped offices are located in the city centre and offer space for up to four people. Funkhaus also has meeting rooms and spacious communal facilities, including a roof terrace and a spacious cooking and dining area. This is where the start-ups and digital companies in the building meet to network and exchange ideas. The teams of the incubator WERK X from Bochum Wirtschaftsentwicklung are some of your helpful neighbours. You can use the meeting rooms for team meetings and brainstorming sessions or to invite and welcome important partners.
This is how you can secure one of the office spaces in the Funkhaus
There are no specific submission deadlines, i.e. you can submit your application at any time. Please note: The office space available in the Funkhaus for WORLDFACTORY teams is limited. This is why we will review your application carefully. We favour start-ups that want to use the Funkhaus as their primary workspace. We also give preference to teams that are not provided with a room by their departments or have already started up. Would you like to submit your application, visit the premises or do you have any questions? Please write an e-mail to startup-office@rub.de.
The application form for the offices is available here.
