Industry

Dübendorf is the home of two research institutions that are part of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH):

EMPA

Empa is a materials science and technology research institution with 5 programs: Nanotechnology, Adaptive Materials Systems, The Healthy Human, Materials for Energy Technology and Technosphere - Atmosphere.

EAWAG

Eawag is the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. There are a variety of topics researched at Eawag: Applied Aquatic Ecology, Chemical Pollutants, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Microbiology, Environmental Toxicology, Fish Ecology and Evolution, Limnology, Surface Waters, Systems Analysis/Integrated Assessment and Modeling, Urban Water Management, Water and Agriculture, Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries (SANDEC), and Water Resources and Drinking Water.

Language

While most people in Zürich speak at least some English or French, many people in the small town of Dübendorf speak only German. Switzerdeutsch (Swiss German) is the language spoken, although nearly everyone will automatically switch their speech to High German for non-Switzerdeutsch speakers. Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch, Schwyzerdütsch, Schwiizerdütsch, Schwyzertütsch, Schwizertitsch) is any of the Alemannic dialects spoken in Switzerland. ...

An interesting characteristic of Switzerdeutsch is the inclusion of words from both French and Italian. For instance, most people speaking Switzerdeutsch will say "merci" and "ciao" more often than, or in exclusion to their German counterpart words. This can be confusing for French or Italian speakers who, if they began speaking in those languages could quite possibly be greeted with only German replies.

Getting Around

The town of Dübendorf is quite small, and it is easy to get around on foot. Traversal from one side of the city to the other can be done within a half hour of casual walking. Apart the city center and the river, an interesting place to visit is the museum of military aviation, storing not just various military planes, but also interesting demonstration material (for instance, how the helicopter steering systems are arranged). The Bell 206 of Canadian Helicopters Robinson Helicopter Company (USA) R44, a four seat development of the R22 A helicopter is an aircraft which is lifted and propelled by one or more horizontal rotors. ...

Transit system

Dubendorf has a railway station with the very good railway connection both with the Zurich center (10 min), Winterthur (via Stettbach, 20 min) and (travelling in opposite direction) many other interesting places in Zurich kanton (Bauma via Wetzikon, Rapperswil via Uster and so on). If you have a problem with ticket machines, the railway station ticket office will provide a friendly service, speaking, if needed, in perfect English (2006 year data). Winterthur is a city in the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland. ... Location within Switzerland Wetzikon is a town in the of the Canton of Zürich, Switzerland. ... Rapperswil is a small town in the canton of St. ... The technically interesting and perfectly looking roundhouse in Uster train station, Switzerland Uster is a city and capital of the district Uster in the Swiss canton of Zürich. ...

The new ticket machine with the multi-lingual (including English) menu is also recently installed in Dubendorf. The old one is still in use and can be exercised for entertainment (how to use it).

The site map.search.ch has bus/train/tram information on every image. The site places emblems over every station, and placing the mouse over the emblem will show all lines connecting to that station (and will even give their destinations and next few departure times).

In addition to its mostly German-language website, The Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (All public transportation companies of the Canton of Zürich) maintains an English speaking section to their site with train and ticket information as well as maps.

Airport

To get from the airport to Dübendorf's center directly, you can take the number 759 bus which leaves the airport directly across the street from baggage claim, and delivers you directly to the shopping center in front of the Coop market, or (further) to the Dübendorf Bahnhof. The cost will be about 3-4 Fr, and the trip will take roughly 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take trains and trams which connect through Zürich's main train station, covering a larger distance but completing the journey in more or less the same time.
