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.

Profile

Work, Inclusion & Technology

Prof. Dr. Frauke Mörike and JProf. Dr. Lena Hünefeld

The Research Unit of Work, Inclusion and Technology, headed by Prof. Dr. Frauke Mörike and JProf. Dr. Lena Hünefeld, is located at the interface between the perpsectives of occupational, rehabilitation and technology science with the aim of making an interdisciplinary relevant contribution to the design of inclusive work systems.

Graphic inclusive work systems

With a deliberate focus on inclusive socio-technical work systems, we would like to contribute to the approach of human-centered technology design in human-computer interaction (HCI) that actually takes all actors into account - in the work context, especially users beyond the actors who usually dominate the discourse. Against this background, the research program at the department is characterized by the interdisciplinary interweaving of approaches from the fields of occupational science and rehabilitation science, which, with regard to questions of digital transformation, also include above all the participatory perspectives and methods of human-technology interaction. We work in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary manner at the interface between social science and technology development with the vision that all actors in our society can benefit from the transition to a digitalized working world 4.0.

The Research Unit WIT is theresearch cluster aig (work, inclusion, health)'s deputy spokesperson and has direct thematic connections with the research cluster technology (tip), especially concerning research questions in the context of technology design. Our research program also benefits from the constructive and close cooperation with the BAuA via JProf. Lena Hünefeld, who has her own forward-looking focus on mental health.

The focal points of our research are:

Design of inclusive socio-technical work systems.
New forms of work and collaboration for inclusive work environments
Method development for participatory and participation-oriented technology design
Mental health in the work environment and digital transformation

Our interdisciplinary team consists of individuals with backgrounds in human-technology interaction and psychology, cultural and social sciences, rehabilitation science, special education, and business informatics.
