Nordstadtgalerie

Showcase for the university

The central location of the Nordstadtgalerie on Bornstraße, one of the most important north-south arteries in Dortmund, which leads directly into the heart of the city center, promises a high frequency of passers-by, passing cars and thus also visitors.

By translating learning content and results from the various departments and degree programs into high-profile exhibition and event concepts, the accessibility of academic work and the participation of the general public in research and teaching will be strengthened. This breaks down the external perception of the university as a closed society.

Giver and receiver of impulses

On the one hand, the Nordstadtgalerie gives impetus to the district by providing low-threshold insights into the university and trying to make science tangible for everyone. On the other hand, it takes up impulses from urban society and brings them into Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts, thus offering the opportunity to incorporate current social issues into teaching and research.

By taking up and processing these issues, theory is linked to practice and connections and mutual recognition between the university and society are created or strengthened.

Interdisciplinary cooperation

As the common denominator of the diverse commitment of the entire university, the Nordstadtgalerie enables a joint exchange with society and promotes interdisciplinary cooperation. To this end, the Nordstadtgalerie has established itself as a permanent institution in Dortmund's urban scene and especially in the north of Dortmund and maintains contacts, memberships and relationships with the various players in Dortmund's urban scene. The networking of different groups, interests, perspectives and skills creates a balanced thematic diversity of meaningful projects. The overarching events and projects can open up new paths and opportunities for both the UAS and the (northern) city.
