Location & approach

By car

The most convenient highway exits are on the B 1/A 40 (Dortmund-Barop) (closer to the North Campus) and on the A45 (Dortmund-Eichlinghofen). The university is signposted at both exits. In the local road network you will find signs to Campus Nord, where the Campus Treff is also located. From Emil-Figge-Strasse, entrance no. 18 and from Vogelspothsweg entrance no. 23 lead to parking spaces near the venue.

By train

From Dortmund main station, take the S-Bahn "S1" in the direction of Solingen on track 7 to the stop "Dortmund-Universität" (price level A). The S-Bahn runs every 15 minutes during peak hours on weekdays and takes about 6 minutes. From Düsseldorf, the S-Bahn runs every 30 minutes. Directly at the S-Bahn station you will find the CDI building, which houses the Center for Research on Education and School Development.

The H-Bahn

One of the university's landmarks is the H-Bahn, which has two terminuses on the North Campus. One is located directly above the S-Bahn station and is easily accessible from it by elevators. The other is located in the center of Campus North at the bridge between the University Library and the Mensa, right next to the Audimax. The H-Bahn runs from here to the South Campus and the Eichlinghofen district.

By plane

Dortmund has an airport connected with some destinations in Central Europe. There are regular flights, for example, to Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Katowice, Krakow, Leipzig-Halle, London, Munich, Nuremberg, Paris, Poznan, Stuttgart, Vienna and Zurich. For the approximately 20 kilometers from the Dortmund airport to the campus, you can take the bus to the main train station and from there the S-Bahn. Faster is usually the use of a cab. Far more international flight connections are offered by the Rhine-Ruhr Airport in Düsseldorf, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

IFS discussing current research findings at the 12th conference of the Gesellschaft für Empirische Bildungsforschung (GEBF).

As part of the 12th conference of the Gesellschaft für Empirische Bildungsforschung (GEBF) at the University of Mannheim, which took place from September 27–29, 2025 under the guiding theme “Education as the key to social challenges: Interdisciplinary Contributions from Educational Research”, researchers from the Center for Research on Education and School Development (IFS) presented their latest findings. The IFS was represented on all three days of the event with over 10 contributions in the form of symposia, lectures, paper sessions and posters. The topics were diverse and covered a broad spectrum of empirical educational research, including language support interventions, mechanisms of social inequality, multilingualism, social mobility and the use of artificial intelligence in the educational context. Current research findings from studies conducted at the IFS were also presented.

Many thanks to the University of Mannheim for organizing the conference, for the many exciting and inspiring contributions and for the fruitful exchange!
