Partnerships
Since 2016, there has been an intensive exchange with the Institute of Classical Philology and Ancient Culture at the University of Wrocław (Poland). In May 2017, the Institute was honoured with one of the 'Internationalisation' best practice awards of TU Dresden for a joint workshop. First contacts with Wrocław were already established in the 1990s.
In cooperation with the Chairs of Ancient History (Martin Jehne), Catholic Biblical Theology (Maria Häusl) and Protestant Biblical Theology (Matthias Klinghardt), the Dresden Classical Studies Presentations have been taking place every semester since the summer semester 2006. In addition, the participating Chairs hold joint colloquia four times per year.
At irregular intervals, the Institute organises symposia in cooperation with various partners. Most recently, the Institute hosted the 7th Kleine Mommsentagung in October 2016. Also in 2016, the Junior Latin Forum (founded by Therese Fuhrer and Marco Formisano) was held in Dresden. Previously, the Institute hosted the Federal Congress of the German Association for Classical Philologists (2002) and twice the specialist conference Aquilonia (2003 and 2013). In 2008, the international conference Empires and Humankind - China and the West Compared took place in Dresden as part of the comparative research project by Fritz-Heiner Mutschler and Achim Mittag.
In coordination with professional colleagues from the secondary schools of Eastern Saxony, since 2011, the Institute has organised the annual Dresden Latin Day, where interested pupils from Saxony can get information about studying at our Institute. In addition, the Institute regularly supports the Saxon branch of the German Association for Classical Philologists (Deutscher Altphilologenverband) in organising professional development days for Greek and Latin teachers in Saxony.
