DoBuS - Dortmunder Zentrum Behinderung und Studium
DoBuS is a joint facility of the Technical University Dortmund and the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences. The goal of the various DoBuS facilities is the creation of equal opportunity studying conditions for chronically ill and disabled students. In this, DoBuS takes its own approach, the "Dortmund approach". DoBuS is an institution unique of its kind in Germany. DoBuS aims to assist other universities in pursuing the path of an obstacle-free university and obstacle-free didactics.The service field of DoBuS with the

In addition, there are two further projects at DoBuS that are part of the European Union EQUAL initiative. This aims to investigate new paths towards combating discrimination and inequality amongst employees and jobseekers in the employment market. With these two projects DoBuS has undertaken to investigate ways in which barriers faced by severely disabled and chronically ill academics in the employment market and science and research can be removed.

The goal of this project, which is being implemented throughout Germany and the EU, is to improve the career prospects of people with disabilities in the field of science and research. As an operative partner in the project, DoBuS strives to improve studying conditions, expand the range of subjects available and promote the increasingly academic further qualification of students and post-graduates with disabilities. In the long term, the models and solutions developed for the professional integration of the disabled are also intended to be applied in other vocational fields.
GO! unlimited
GO! unlimited - Corporate start-ups by people with disabilities
People with disabilities are severely underrepresented in corporate start-ups. Support oriented towards their specific requirements aims to increase the number of successful corporate start-ups by people with disabilities. The basis of this is the creation of a new network of players in the employment and social policy fields.
The objective of the GO! unlimited project was to awaken the entrepreneurial spirit of people with disabilities - jobseekers, people in training and further training, academics or those in dependent employment. Potential start-up candidates were qualified and coached in a sustainable manner. The GO! unlimited initiative ran from 01 January 2005 until 31 December 2007. The offers conceived during the course of the project are also to be continued beyond the end of the project itself.
