TU Dortmund Summer Festival
On 10 July 2025, it was time again - TU Dortmund University's North Campus became a festival site and students and employees of TU Dortmund University celebrated the Summer Festival 2025 with friends and family in beautiful sunshine and a great atmosphere. A review of this year's Summer Festival and information about the Summer Festival 2026 will follow shortly.
Between Emil-Figge-Straße 50 and “Straße der Ingenieure”, the institutions, faculties and student councils once again offered a wide range of activities. For example, guests of all ages were able to compete in an archaeology duel, try out various sports such as archery or bouldering or fly through a virtual logistics course as a drone with VR glasses.
The summer festival also had plenty of culinary delights to offer: Students sold international dishes from their home countries at their stands and made ice cream with liquid nitrogen. DJs, ensembles and live bands provided a party atmosphere, with professors, students and staff also performing on the two stages. Bollywood sounds and rousing rock & roll thrilled the audience during the performances of the Bollywood and Rock'n'Rookies dance groups from university sports. The cheerleading team also took the audience's breath away with acrobatic stunts. The traditional summer party was supported by the Association of Friends (Gesellschaft der Freunde, GdF), Sparkasse Dortmund and Studierendenwerk Dortmund.
Review 2024
A large crowd gathered on the North Campus between Emil-Figge-Straße 50 and the Mechanical Engineering building in the hot summer weather. With their diverse program, the departments, departmental student councils and other university institutions invited campus guests to participate in the activities at their numerous booths: for example, visitors of all ages were able to shatter roses frozen in liquid nitrogen, complete an obstacle course with an exoskeleton or marvel at the best goals scored by soccer-playing robots. At selfie spots and DIY stations, campus visitors were also able to take home souvenirs.
Live bands, TU ensembles and DJs on the stages at Martin-Schmeißer-Platz and in front of Emil-Figge-Straße 50 as well as at smaller stations on campus created a party atmosphere. The dance groups and the cheerleading team of TU Dortmund University wowed the audience with their stunts and inspired guests to dance. At its barbecue station, the Studierendenwerk (Association for Student Affairs) gave away their popular 3,000 free sausages and 2,000 vegetable schnitzels. International students offered a variety of dishes from their home countries at their booths, united by the motto “We are TU”.
