The Rhine-Main-Universities (RMU), in German Rhein-Main-Universititäten, is a strategic alliance of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main and Technische Universität Darmstadt.

This results in study programmes that could not have been offered previously by the universities alone.

Funding line I serves to support already established collaborative research projects.

Funding line II serves to initiate collaborative projects.
