The Department for Public Relations has the task of presenting TU Dortmund with its numerous faculties in a public-oriented way—a task that by far exceeds the simple issuing of press releases.
The employees of the department organize events like the annual Campusfest, provide English translations, supervise layout and content of the internet presence and deal with the media-effective presentation of education and research at TU Dortmund.
The broad service spectrum is completed by the department’s two publications:
The traditional campus newspaper “UniZet” is published once a month and reports on administrative as well as academic matters of the university, supporting the internal communication among the university members; it keeps the contact going between the alumni and their “old” university. “mundo” is TU Dortmund’s science magazine, which is published twice a year. The magazine aims at highlighting the university’s current trends and research results. “mundo” is academic due to its choice of topics, but it is also popular due to its editorial variety.
