Location of the Hybrid Summer School 2022

Located in the heart of the urban area around the river Ruhr, the TU Dortmund University has a long history in research. 40 years ago, the computer science faculty was founded as one of the first of its kind. The city of Dortmund managed the transition from a center of coal mining and steel milling to information technology. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it is not guaranteed that every international participant/lecturer can visit Dortmund. The summer school is thus planned as a hybrid event with local lectures in Dortmund and streamed lectures on the internet.

Local Lectures

The summer school takes place locally at TU Dortmund, Otto-Hahn-Strasse 14, Lecture Hall E23.

Streamed Lectures

The lectures will also be streamed via Zoom and Youtube to the remote audience of participants that could not travel to Germany.

From Düsseldorf airport: The train S1, direction to Dortmund, stops at the University (Dortmund Universität). As an alternative, you can take any train to Dortmund main train station (Dortmund Hauptbahnhof, Hbf) and from there the S1 back to the University. From this train station it is a 10-15 min walk across the Campus to the Seminar Building, Friedrich-Wöhler-Weg 6, 44227 Dortmund, Auditorium 1.001
From Dortmund airport: Take the Airport Express (Bus) to Dortmund main train station (Dortmund Hauptbahnhof, Hbf), travel time is approx. 40 min.

From Dortmund main station the S1 leaves every 20-30 min and needs 7 min to the University (Dortmund Universität). From the train station it is a 10-15 min walk across the Campus to the computer science building, Otto-Hahn-Strasse 14, Lecture Hall E23.



By car: The campus of the Technische Universität Dortmund is situated close to the motorway intersection Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B1 / A40. The best motorway exit you find on the A 45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen" and on the B 1 / A 40 "Dortmund-Dorstfeld". There are signs at both exits leading you to the university.
