Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

Multimessenger Astronomy

We work on the exploration of the universe with a variety of modern experiments distributed all over the world.
To this end, we search for neutrinos, radio signals and photons of the highest energies.
