How to get to Dortmund

Although Dortmund has its own small airport, it is probably the best idea to take a flight with final destination Düsseldorf Airport and take a train from Düsseldorf airport to Dortmund. For the following local transport trains, you need a Price Zone D (10.90 EUR) ticket. Don't forget to stamp it in one of the orange machines (before you board the train!).

• RE1 or RE6 to "Dortmund Hauptbahnhof" (mainstation, within the city center; takes roughly 50 minutes).
• S1 to "Dortmund Hauptbahnhof" (mainstation, within the city center; takes roughly 80 minutes). One of its many stops is at the conference site: "Dortmund Universität".

Alternatively, it is possible to take a flight to Frankfurt Airport and take the (quite expensive) ICE high speed train to Dortmund (more information on ICE timetables and fares can be found here; takes roughly 2 hours).

How to get to the conference site

A site map of the university can be found here. The conference takes place in the highest building (Mathematics, no. 14 on the map) on the campus. Address: Vogelpothsweg 87, 44227 Dortmund.

By train:
From "Dortmund Hauptbahnhof" (main station) take the S1 (platform 7), direction Düsseldorf, and you arrive at "Dortmund Universität" after 7 minutes.
On the map, the (underground) train station for the S1 is marked with a "S" in an orange coloured circle between buildings no. 15 and 16. You need a Price Zone A (2.30 EUR) ticket for local transport within Dortmund. Don't forget to stamp it in one of the orange machines (before you board the train!). Travel information for public transportation to and within the city can be obtained from here.

By car:
A description for travelling by car is given here. For short: Try to go to motorway A40(=B1) and use the exit "Dortmund Dorstfeld", follow road signs to the "Campus Nord".
