Education, economics, nature protection, regional cooperation, and cultural and publicity work are considered against the background of continuing change in the prospects of the area. The members of the Ruhr Area Initiative Group have already worked on over 150 projects in 3 yr to improve the economy and employment in the Ruhr.
