Roadmap

Proposing a third party research project requires to follow an orderly administrative process within TU Dresden. We aim at leading you most efficiently through the thicket of administrative requirements and increasing the transparency of the TU-internal process prior to submission of the proposal resp. the project start.
Research Pool

The Research Pool is a TU internal support scheme for you as scientists to facilitate the writing phase of a research proposal. Upon application it finances appropriate measures for proposing new publicly financed research projects.
Contract templates

The TU Dresden, Unit 5.1 offers its researchers a number of contract templates, which have proven valuable in a large number of research projects and which depict the interest of TU Dresden and its researchers adequately.

Research Projects Funded by National and State Resources

The services address those scientists of TU Dresden, having successfully finalized the initial project phase – from developing the project idea to the elaboration of a precise project application. The following step is to submit a project application or to stipulate contractual details. Please allow your contact persons to support you in organizational and especially contractual topics like

Please note that contracts with external parties will only be valid with the legally binding signature of TU Dresden. This legally binding signature can be granted in Unit 5.1. Furthermore, for each research project a separate project number (PSP-Element) is created for the TU Dresden internal controlling system.

To keep the administrative effort low, TU Dresden provides a range of contract templates to its scientists. These contract templates are continually updated in accordance with current legal requirements. Specific project constellations or demands of the project partners can require deviations from the templates. Please consult your contact person in time to harmonize those individual contractual issues.

Our common goal it is to eliminate all possible obstacles from the proposal of a research project until the actual start of the project and to accomplish an optimum of legal contractual provisions for you and the TU Dresden.

In case your organisational unit of TU Dresden requires more help than “just” consultation and advice during the preparation phase for a publicly funded research project we might be able to grant such by means of the research pool.
