Location & approach

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.

H-Bahn

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System) is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exits to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” or “Dortmund-Barop” (both closer to North Campus). Signs to the university are located at all the exits.

To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

Beste Bedingungen für soziale Innovationen

07/01/2023 -

View of a residential house, which has partly a red paint, and partly a blue paint. In the foreground you can see many plants. — The multigenerational WohnArt project in Bad Kreuznach creates affordable and low-barrier living space. There are communal areas and individual residential units.

Innovationen – bei dem Thema geht es in der Regel um neue Technologien. Die Sozialforschungsstelle der TU Dortmund dagegen beschäftigt sich in internationalen Verbundprojekten mit Innovationen in Form neuer sozialer Praktiken wie Carsharing, Mehrgenerationenhäusern oder Kreislaufwirtschaft. Denn die großen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen – vom Klimawandel bis zur Digitalisierung – sind durch technische Neuerungen allein nicht zu bewältigen.

Tauschen statt kaufen, teilen statt besitzen, verschenken statt vernichten, beteiligen statt allein entscheiden: Soziale Innovationen verändern Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen grundlegend. Bereits seit 2010 forschen Wissenschaftler*innen der Sozialforschungsstelle (sfs) zu sozialen Innovationen und machen damit ausgerechnet das Land der Ingenieur*innen zu einem starken Player auf diesem Gebiet. In einem von der Europäischen Union geförderten Projekt haben sie sich mit Expert*innen aus Deutschland, Polen, Dänemark, Estland und Großbritannien zusammengeschlossen, um soziale Innovationen in ganz Europa zu erforschen, zu stärken und nationale Kompetenzzentren aufzubauen. An der sfs wird das Projekt ESIA – European Social Innovation Alliance – von Dr. Christoph Kaletka koordiniert.
