Location & approach

By car

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.

By bus and train

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.

By plane

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.

Maximilian Spiekermann, Jens Ehlhardt, Max Krause and Marén Schwandt (from left to right) stand in front of a rust-red wall. All four people are wearing a red cap with a yellow drop symbol and the signature “Simplyfined”. — Maximilian Spiekermann, Jens Ehlhardt, Max Krause und Marén Schwandt (v.l.n.r.) wollen das Unternehmen Simplyfined gründen, um die chemische Industrie durch die Nutzung nachwachsender pflanzlicher Rohstoffe nachhaltiger zu gestalten.

Die chemische Industrie ist bislang auf fossile Rohstoffe angewiesen, deren Nutzung jedoch klimaschädlich und deren Ressource endlich ist. Wissenschaftler*innen der Fakultät Bio- und Chemieingenieurwesen der TU Dortmund entwickeln daher Prozesse, mit denen nachwachsende Rohstoffe wie Pflanzenöle so aufbereitet werden können, dass sie für die Industrie als universell einsetzbare Plattformchemikalie nutzbar werden. Ihre Technologie möchten Maximilian Spiekermann, Jens Ehlhardt und Marén Schwandt nun in eine Anwendung überführen, die sie Unternehmen zur Verfügung stellen können. Seit Oktober fördert der Bund ihr Gründungsvorhaben Simplyfined mit insgesamt rund 1,7 Millionen Euro über zwei Jahre im Programm EXIST-Forschungstransfer.
