TU Dresden is invited to submit six full applications for Clusters of Excellence in the next round of the Excellence Competition
Today, TU Dresden was invited by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to submit six full proposals out of eight draft proposals for the Clusters of Excellence. Prof. Hans Müller-Steinhagen, Rector of TU Dresden, congratulates the speakers and scientists of the successful cluster proposals and emphasises the importance for the entire university: "It is a phenomenal success! This decision will give us an additional, strong tailwind for our endeavours in the Excellency Strategy! Now, we shall optimistically enter the full proposals phase and hope that at least two or preferably even more Clusters of Excellence will be granted in the end." The draft proposal for the excellence cluster "PHYSICS OF LIFE - The dynamic organization of living matter" (which was created under the leadership of BIOTEC research group leader Prof. Dr. Stephan Grill) has been invited to the second round of the application process. It is one of 6 draft proposals of TU Dresden that can now submit their full proposals for excellence clusters to the DFG until February 21, 2018.
