VUVS Network Meeting 2025: "Conceptual approaches to the real-world laboratory University School Dresden"

The VUVS network meeting will take place from September 22 to 23, 2025 at TU Dresden under the title "Conceptual Approaches to the Real-World Laboratory University School Dresden". Five years after the founding of the VUVS Network of Experimental and University Schools, the representatives of the member organizations will come together at the ForUS University School Research Centre for their annual meeting. In addition to the general assembly, they are invited to workshops for thematic exchange. These also prepare them for an work shadowing visit in the real-world laboratory for the school of the future at the University School Dresden.

All information on the program and registration can be found in the calendar of the University School Dresden project.

About the Association of University and Experimental Schools (VUVS)

The Association of University and Experimental Schools (VUVS) was founded in 2020. The starting point was the new educational policy trend in Germany - which can also be observed internationally - to strive for closer cooperation between research institutions, teacher training institutions and school practice. The aim of the network is to provide a forum for this new movement in order to make the scientific support of school reform measures available discursively on a content, process-related and structural level.

The association is designed as an open network of schools (so far) from Germany and Austria that share their ideas and experiences. Both individual schools (scientifically supported reform schools, experimental schools, university schools, laboratory schools) and research-oriented school networks can become members. Dresden University School is a founding member of the VUVS.

Further information can be found on the VUVS website (in the founding publication of the association, available online) as well as on the pages of the VUVS members.

About the University School Dresden

The Dresden University School is a joint project of the state capital Dresden and the TUD Dresden University of Technology. It is a public and free community school run by the city, where innovative forms of teaching and learning are tested under academic supervision. In addition, it is a training school for future teachers and, in the future, a further education school for teachers. The school trial is being scientifically supported by the  ForUS - University School Research Unit at TU Dresden.
