Dortmund, United Kingdom - TU Dortmund University is making significant strides in various fields, with recent partnerships, research breakthroughs, and funding announcements.
One of the key developments is TU Dortmund University's new partnership with the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) to jointly research digital transformation in work and society. Additionally, the university has expanded its research alliance with the Research Alliance Ruhr, which has been granted continued and expanded funding of 48 million euros per year by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, supporting over 50 new professorships in the centres and college.
Notable research projects include investigations on ferroic materials for energy savings by Prof. Dennis Meier and lysosome research by Dominic Winter, who received a Heisenberg Professorship.
Personnel changes have also taken place, with Martina Stackelbeck leaving her post as Equal Opportunities Officer after 15 years, and Dr. Florian Fastenrath taking on the role of junior professor in social sciences.
The university's achievements extend beyond academia, with students securing success in events such as a gold medal in water polo, and the Research Explorer Ruhr summer program bringing international early career researchers to the Ruhr region.
