About the Center

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

The CFF sees itself as a hub for German-Francophone academic and cultural exchange, a point of contact for international collaborations, and a source of expertise on Francophone cultural regions.

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