Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B1/A40. The best interstate exit to take from A45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen (6)" (closer to Campus Süd), and from B1/A40 "Dortmund-Barop (44)" (closer to Campus Nord). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Follow the signs towards Campus-Süd.

The Chair of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) is located in the "Maschinenbau III" building, which can be reached via entrance 41, where parking spaces are available. The secretariat is located on the third floor in E 03 - room 3.027.

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). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg. From there, Campus Süd, where the Department of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) is located, can be reached in five minutes via the H-Bahn in the direction of "Eichlinghofen" or "Campus Süd".

After leaving the H-Bahn station "Campus Süd" cross the small street and go straight forward. Take the stairs (elevator on the left side).
Turn right directly under the canopy, go approximately 200 m, the Building "Maschinenbau III" is at the end of the path.

The office is located on the third floor in E03 - room 3.027.

Dortmund's public transport company DSW21 offers an interactive route network map with timetable information.

The H-Bahn

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. 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 Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd 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.

Equal opportunities

The implementation of equal opportunities in the research unit is interdisciplinary and at the same time takes into account the respective subject cultures. For the participating institutions, the promotion of diversity and equal opportunities is a top priority. For this reason, corresponding measures have been established at the locations of the research unit for several years. These measures cover all target groups, from pupils to students to doctoral candidates. In a fundamental first step, the study of engineering is presented to female students in a targeted manner in order to increase the proportion of female students.

In order to reduce the imbalance of women and men in scientific leadership positions in the medium and long term, the program "mentoring3" was established together with the universities of the UA Ruhr within the Research Academy Ruhr for female doctoral students and postdocs, which consists of the modules mentoring, seminars and networking. In addition, there are events for the exchange of information and networking for female graduates, doctoral candidates and postdocs with companies in the region, such as in the context of "female.2.enterprises" at the TU Dortmund University.

For many years, all project partners have been highly committed to reconciling work/study and science with family responsibilities. This begins with support for expectant mothers and students with children so that they do not have to give up their studies for family reasons. In addition, there is a school vacation childcare service and an emergency childcare service. Furthermore, all project partners offer a family-friendly infrastructure, e.g. breastfeeding and diaper-changing rooms, central parent-child rooms for students, a parent-child area in the cafeteria or a campus family office. Additional resources are provided on an individual and flexible basis to enable rapid accommodation of children and thus flexible research work, even during short-term visits and research stays.
