Cycling for climate and health

From bike checks to discussions - in April, May and June, there will be several bike and sustainable mobility events at the Fachhochschule Dortmund locations. The action stands and events at a glance.

Fachhochschule Dortmund is inviting students, employees and guests to take part in a series of practical activities as part of the Mobility Campaign 2026 "On the road together sustainably". The focus is on bicycle mobility to reduce commuter traffic and CO₂ emissions - commuter traffic accounts for around 90 percent of university emissions.
