The Center
The Center for International Studies (ZIS) was founded in January 2002 as the Central Academic Unit of TU Dresden. In October 2002, the ZIS took over the sponsorship of the degree program "International Relations" (SIB) with the approval of the necessary regulations. In research, interdisciplinary cooperation in the field of International Relations is to be brought together and further developed. Further objectives of the ZIS are to continue and expand the promotion of intra- and inter-university networking, cooperation with non-university research institutions, public institutions and the private sector. Due to these efforts and the resulting strong international visibility, the ZIS was named one of 22 "Lighthouses of Internationalization" by TU Dresden in December 2021. Here you can find more information about the ZIS as a beacon of internationalization, as well as information about the center, its employees and tasks.
