Prof. Dr. Manfred Curbach has always been fully committed to the interests of Technische Universität Dresden. He has done pioneering work in the field of textile and carbon concrete and is particularly well networked in the scientific community. He was very successfully responsible for one term of office of the Prorectorate University Development of the Technische Universität Dresden. Prof. Curbach stands equally for interdisciplinarity, internationality and successful technology transfer and is an astute and profound contributor to the university's committees. Prof. Curbach has held the professorship for concrete structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering since 1994 and has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina since 2013 as well as spokesperson for the BMBF consortium "C³ - Carbon Concrete Composite". In 2016, he was awarded the German Future Prize, the Federal President's prize for technology and innovation.
