The Dortmund University S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 S-Bahn line runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf Central 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 Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association website, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route map.

H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of TU Dortmund University 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 runs every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes you to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes, and from there you can take the S-Bahn to the university. A wider range of international flights is available at Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are located on two campuses, the larger North Campus and the smaller South Campus. In addition, some university facilities are located in the adjacent Dortmund Technology Park as well as in the city center and the wider urban area.

Current Research Projects at the Chair of Communication Networks (ComNets)

Three Awards for the Department's 6G Research

07/14/2026

ComNets Dortmund Team — The ComNets Dortmund team at the 6G Platform booth.

The Chair of Communication Networks (ComNets) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology has received three awards at international conferences for its latest research on future 6G networks.

At the prestigious IEEE INFOCOM 2026 in Tokyo, the paper “O-RACES” on AI-assisted radio resource planning for the real-time control of networked humanoid robots was honored with a Best Paper Award from the Networked Robots Workshop.

At the European 6G Summit 2026 in Málaga, the interactive “Smart Factory RAN Planner” for planning industrial mobile networks received the Best University Demo Award. The demo presentation was supported on-site by master’s students from the department.

Another Best Paper Award followed at the IEEE MNC 2026 in Naples. The award-winning paper examines the FR3 frequency spectrum between 7 and 24 gigahertz as a potential middle ground between high network coverage and high data rates for future 6G systems.

These achievements underscore the international visibility of Dortmund’s BMFTR-funded research on intelligent, high-performance, and sustainable next-generation communication networks.
