Interdisciplinary research areas
Who conducts research at the TU Dortmund on which major topics? Who is suitable for interdisciplinary research projects on sustainable topics?
This overview clusters current research projects and projects according to topic areas and can be used, among other things, as a suggestion for interdisciplinary research projects.
The thematic areas have only been clustered in relation to sustainability. In some areas, it is easy to identify links or overlaps (e.g. energy - cities, spaces and buildings or also education and school - inclusion).
Due to the diverse and dynamic research landscape at TU Dortmund University, no claim is made to completeness. Do you know other people who are researching these sustainable topics? Then please feel free to contact us.

Location & approach
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.
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.
From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund main station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.
