What is the Centrum France | Francophonie?
The Centrum France | Francophonie (CFF) sees itself as a platform for internationalization and interdisciplinary networking.
It promotes the exchange between actors of the TU Dresden and partners in France and the francophone countries in the scientific and cultural field. The CFF networks existing activities and supports new ones in the three central areas of activity: research, teaching and third mission.
The CFF is a founding member of the network of university centres for France and La Francophonie in Germany.
It also acts as an organizer and venue in the Literaturnetz Dresden.
In addition to interdisciplinary networking on a regional, national and international level, the company initiates its own research fields in the long term and designs creative event formats. This includes, among other things, making visible already existing cooperations between the institutes of the TU Dresden and francophone partners from teaching, research, culture and business.
The CFF thus functions as a place of German-French or German-Francophone scientific and cultural exchange as well as a contact point for international cooperation.
