The campus of the TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the A45 crosses the B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by the bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

Sustainability Working Group

Sustainable action is one of TU Dortmund University's operational and strategic goals. In order to promote a joint university-wide dialog on the topic of sustainability, the Sustainability Working Group ("Arbeitskreis Nachhaltigkeit", AKN) was founded in 2012 on the initiative of the Rectorate. The AKN is open to all members of TU Dortmund University and is deliberately diverse: students, employees from research and teaching as well as administration contribute their perspectives and expertise together. Representatives of the Rectorate and important bodies such as the staff councils are also involved in the working group.

Overview of the sustainability network at TU Dortmund University. The diagram is structured like a subway network. In the middle are the AKN (Arbeitskreis Nachhaltigkeit, Working Group Sustainability) and the NHB (Nachhaltigkeitsbüro, Sustainability Office). From the center, lines go to the Rectorate, the Corporates Centers, the Offices, the Departments and the Central Units at TU Dortmund University. From the NHB there are connections to institutions in the city of Dortmund, within NRW and throughout Germany.

The Sustainability Office reports on its activities at the twice-yearly AKN meetings. Current topics are discussed and new project ideas are generated for TU Dortmund University in short workshops. The range of topics covered by the AKN includes strategies and projects relating to both social and ecological sustainability: resource conservation, personnel development, sustainable construction, biodiversity and environmental protection on campus, implementation of ESD in teaching and much more. In addition to the expertise of its members, the working group also draws on the potential of successful projects and (external) initiatives.

In 2021, the work of the AKN resulted in the formulation of a sustainability strategy for TU Dortmund University and the establishment of the Sustainability Office.

You are cordially invited to get involved and make a contribution to sustainability at TU Dortmund University.
