About the Center

Founded in late 2017, the Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie (CFF) has a broad interdisciplinary focus and includes members from numerous faculties—not only from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences but also from the faculties of medicine and the Faculty of 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 raising the profile of TU Dresden’s international relations.
