The Center for Dynamics Dresden (CfD) fosters research projects originating from the Faculty of Science at the Technische Universität Dresden and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS). It provides a platform for research activities in the interdisciplinary area of dynamical systems in Dresden and beyond.

The research areas of the CfD range from basic research to a broad range of applications. They are determined by the activities of the three scientific directors and the senior members.
