TU Dresden is one of the leading German universities in the acquisition of third-party funds. Profile-characterizing research projects have an essential share of it. For example the Coordinated Programmes of the German Research Foundation (DFG), major projects of the EU, of the Federal and State government and of the German Excellence Initiative. These research projects significantly characterise the research profile of TU Dresden. 

The contact persons in the Units 5.1 (Research Promotion) and 5.2 (European Project Center) in Department 5 provide support for the application of those research profile determining projects. You will get comprehensive advice on how to write a proposal and you will find extensive support for specific regularities on the application of major research projects funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) (Guidelines of Vice-Rector for Research N° 1/2011, contact) or funded by ERC Grants of the European Union (Guidelines of Vice-Rector for Research N° 5/2014, contact).
