About the Center

Founded in late 2017, the Center for France and Francophonie (CFF) has a broad interdisciplinary focus and includes members from numerous faculties, including not only those in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences but also from the faculties
Medicine and Mechanical Engineering.

The CFF sees itself as a hub for German-Francophone academic and cultural exchange, a point of contact for international cooperation, and a facilitator of expertise regarding
Francophone cultural regions.

The CFF cooperates with the DRESDEN-concept partners, supports the Research Priority Area “Culture and Societal Change,” and contributes to the visibility of
international relations at TU Dresden.
