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.

The simulation game "sustain2030" is made available to lecturers at TU Dortmund University by the Sustainability Office. Participants learn about the interdependencies between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and gain insight into complex decision-making systems through play.

In the simulation game "sustain2030", participants learn about the interrelationships between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and gain insight into complex decision-making processes through play. During the simulation, participants take on the role of a stakeholder in a fictitious citizens' council supporting the federal government and make coordinated, political decisions as a group. This group of five to 15 people considers the period from 2020 to 2030. The impacts of the group decisions are simulated step-by-step with respect to the SDGs. After each simulation step, the effects of the decisions are observed. If necessary, decisions made can be adjusted by appropriate measures in order to achieve the SDGs. In all decisions, care must be taken to not lose sight of any of the SDGs, preventing critical states and staying within the financial limits. The right balance needs to be found here.

The simulation game is made available to the lecturers of TU Dortmund University in a Moodle room after the introduction. If you are interested in an introduction to "sustain2030", please contact the Sustainability Office. There is a campus license and every lecturer may use the simulation for teaching. The optional materials for the simulation can be borrowed from the Sustainability Office. If you have any questions, please feel free to use the corresponding forums in the Moodle room or contact the Sustainability Office.

The simulation game can be played in German as well as in English.
