Partnerships

Well over 2,600 scientists and researchers work at TU Dortmund University. These experts, chiefly in our engineering, natural science and cultural studies departments, in the interdisciplinary Research Units and the practice-oriented Collaborative Research Centers and Transregios, work together with companies and external partners in many different ways. If, as a company, you have a technical question, let us put you in touch with our scientists and researchers so that you can find a solution together. This can take place in the framework of bilateral cooperation or a publicly funded research project. Examples are the “NRW Lead Market Competitions”, the “Central Innovation Program for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)” or the “KMU-innovativ” initiative. A large number of companies of all sizes and from all sectors are already profiting from cooperation with TU Dortmund University.

The Center for Entrepreneurship & Transfer (CET) can help you to find research partners and funding programs.
