From physics to research funding

Location & approach

Arrival by car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the Dortmund West interchange, where the A45 Sauerland line crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld and Dortmund-Barop exits on the A40 to the North Campus. The university is signposted at all exits. Navigation systems should find the address Otto-Hahn-Str. 4. There is a large parking lot there.

Arrival 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 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund central station and in the opposite direction to Solingen via Bochum, Essen, Duisburg and Düsseldorf. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and the DSW21 transport company also offers an interactive route network map. On the pages of the TU Dortmund University you will find additional information on "Contact and Arrival".

The H-Bahn

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.

Arrival by plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Careers-in-Physics

Tim Höhne presents the job "technology consulting" in the Careers in Physics seminar

In this presentation, I will introduce my job as a technology consultant for research funding in the field of nuclear fusion at the VDI Technology Center in Düsseldorf. After a brief personal introduction, I will first give a general overview of project-based research funding in Germany and in particular the role of project sponsors such as the VDI Technology Center.

After a brief introduction to the company, I will then go into more detail about my work. I focus in particular on why the job is exciting for physicists and how I benefit from my specialist background in my day-to-day work.

Last but not least, I give a brief status update on nuclear fusion research. I will focus in particular on current developments and future prospects.
