The Brost Academy aims to be a source of impulses for the Ruhr region and beyond.

The Brost-Bibliothek makes the best of these available to a broad public.
 
The series features renowned academics, journalists and publicists whose contributions are dedicated to current social, political and cultural issues that are particularly relevant to the Ruhr region but are also discussed nationally and internationally. In doing so, the authors trace the underlying challenges and develop solution-oriented recommendations for action, for the Ruhr region and beyond.
