Location & approach

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 exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.

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 public transport

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”.

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System)

The H-Bahn 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 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.

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Abschlusstagung der BMBF-Förderline Qualitätsentwicklungen in der Wissenschaft II

10/19/2023

Teilnehmende der Podiumsdiskussion: Rainer Lange, Gunter Friedrich, Liudvika Leišytė

Mit der dreijährigen Förderlinie „Qualitätsentwicklungen in der Wissenschaft: Untersuchungen zur Meso-Ebene“ (QUEM) förderte das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung 15 Projekte, die sich auf Institutionen übergreifende Untersuchungen von Ansätzen der Qualitätssicherung und –entwicklung im Wissenschafts- und Hochschulsystem fokussierten.

Zum Auslaufen der Förderlinie fand am 13.10.2023 die Abschlusstagung unter dem Titel: "Qualitätsentwicklung(en) in der Wissenschaft!?" am Zentrum für HochschulBildung (zhb) der TU Dortmund statt. Die Eröffnung der Veranstaltung und Begrüßung erfolgte durch Dr. Moritz Mälzer (BMBF) und Prof. Dr. Uwe Wilkesmann.

Der Einladung von Seiten des Bundesministeriums und des Projektträgers (VDI/VDE) sowie Professor Dr. Uwe Wilkesmann (Projekt UnSicht) sind fast alle geförderten Projekte gefolgt. In thematischen Clustern wurden die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse im interaktivem Austausch geteilt und diskutiert.

Das Rahmenprogramm wurde durch die Keynote von Prof. Dr. Julian Hamann (HU Berlin) mit seinen Überlegungen und Impulsen zu „Forschungsqualität und Forschungsleistung“ eröffnet und bot Anknüpfungspunkte für anschließende Diskussionen während der gesamten Tagesveranstaltung.

In der Podiumsdiskussion zur Zukunftsvision der Hochschule/Wissenschaft unter der Moderation von Dr. Johanna Witte (IHF) konnten die geladenen Teilnehmenden Dr. Rainer Lange (WR), Dr. Moritz Mälzer (BMBF), Dr. Gunter Friedrich (Referent Forschungsstrategie des Rektorats der TU Dortmund), Prof. Dr. Liudvika Leišytė (TU Dortmund) und Dr. Annette Schmidtmann (DFG) ihr eigenes Statement und ihre Folgerungen aus den Clusterergebnissen einbringen. Diese Beiträge sowie die Reaktionen und Fragen aus dem Plenum schafften einen lebendigen Austausch und entließen die Tagungsteilnehmenden mit vielen Eindrücken und neuen Gedanken ins Wochenende.
