Scientific events
In the widespread network of the CRTD communication within the scientific community is essential to foster collaborations and activities amongst scientists. In order to strengthen and facilitate the exchange of ideas and cooperation between the established and newly recruited CRTD network groups we have established several activities:
- Research Area Symposia
- Summer Conference
- CRTD Core Group Retreat
- CRTD Member Retreat
- CRTD PhD and Postdoc Seminars
- CRTD/BIOTEC External Speaker Seminar (Life Sciences Seminar)
What is more, the CRTD regularly hosts international meetings, such as the International Congress on Stem Cells and Tissue Formation, the international ABCAM conference on adult neurogenesis, and International Symposia ISSCR Regional Forum.

Events for general public
Stem cell science holds great potential for delivering significant benefits for human healthcare. As an emerging field with a wide range of clinical applications, it has become an increasingly prominent topic of media interest. People are interested in finding out more about the work we do and what is possible so far in the research into regenerative therapies. Besides hope of novel therapies for, so far, incurable diseases, the field of regenerative therapies also generates ethical concerns. Open dialog can offer new insights for both the general public and scientists.
Through events for the general public we seek to share the fascination of scientific discoveries with the interested public. We and our partners organize activities for key audiences including pupils, teachers, patients, policymakers, journalists, and other interested groups such as the:
- Dresden Science Night
- Retina Information Day
- Senior's Academy
- Science and Society
- Science Cafe
Events for school students
Top-level research is impossible without qualified young academics. The Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at the TU Dresden provides special offer for students in order to become acquainted with research and scientists from the fields of biomedicine and life sciences.
We offer a variety of events that allow the students to talk to scientists, look over their shoulders, or sometimes even participate in hands-on experiments:
- Girls' Day
- UniStem Day
- Summer University of the TU Dresden
- Dresden Science Night
- Junior Doctor
- Children University Dresden
- "Science goes to school" project
