Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the Dortmund West highway junction, where the A45 Sauerland highway crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to Campus South, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 to Campus North. 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 S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by 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

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

By airplane

From Dortmund Airport, you can take the AirportExpress to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes and from there take the S-Bahn to the university. Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, offers a wider range of international flight connections and can be reached directly by the S-Bahn from the university station.

25 years of Mensch und Computer - Digital Diversity in Chemnitz

09/17/2025

Violet illuminated letters stand out against a purple background. Behind them are Hendrik Sellmann, Frauke Mörike, and Jana-Sophie Effert leaning against the illuminated letters.

Mensch und Computer 2025 (MuC) took place in Chemnitz from August 31 to September 3, this year for the 25th time. Researchers, practitioners and students from the field of human-computer interaction came together under the motto Digital Diversity. The team from the Department of Work, Inclusion and Technology was also represented with several contributions.

Workshop: Field research in HCI

In collaboration with Ceenu George (TU Berlin), Frauke Mörike and Jana-Sophie Effert organized a workshop that focused on the question of how research on human-computer interaction can be transferred more strongly to real (working) environments.

Jana-Sophie Effert & Franziska Günther focused on particular challenges in the recruitment of vulnerable target groups, while Henrik Sellmann gave a presentation on the topic of hybrid collaboration.

Barcamp session

Together with Vineetha Rallabandi and Ali Askari from the PRAESCO project, Henrik Sellmann organized one of the MuC-typical barcamp sessions as a "self-help group" for remote work to get into a low-threshold discussion about personal experiences in hybrid work settings.

Short Paper

In addition, Jana-Sophie Effert and Lion Petersdorf presented a short paper on methods of usability testing in the context of cognitive accessibility. In the poster session, we were able to discuss how people with cognitive impairments can be better included in technology development processes in order to make work-related technologies in particular more inclusive.

Inclusion and HCI

The 25th anniversary of the MuC impressively demonstrated the level of commitment to participation and accessibility in the HCI community. The numerous discussions, contributions and encounters in Chemnitz have given our team an impetus to further advance research into accessible technologies and participation opportunities.

Jana-Sophie Effert points to a scientific poster entitled “Re-Aligning the building blocks for usability testing: methodological insight in cognitive accessibility research for work-related technologies.” Three people stand in front of her and look at the poster, with their backs to the camera.
