About the Centrum

Founded at the end of 2017, the Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie (CFF) is broadly interdisciplinary and has members from numerous Faculties, including those from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences as well as the Faculties of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Medicine and Mechanical Science and Engineering.

The CFF sees itself as a

• place for German-Francophone scientific and cultural exchange,
• a contact point for international cooperation
• a mediator of expertise in francophone cultural areas.

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

Structured promotion of early-career researchers takes place within the framework of the Franco-German Doctoral College, funded by the Franco-German University.

The CFF is a founding member of the network of university France and Francophonie centers in Germany.

It also acts as an organizer and venue in the Literaturnetz Dresden.

Panel discussion [online] - What's going on in France? Pension reform, protests and the consequences

Online panel discussion with Kolja Lindner and Hélène Miard-Delacroix

France is in turmoil. The debate about pension reform has kept the country on tenterhooks for months. After the president pushed through the reform without a parliamentary resolution, there have been strikes, demonstrations and riots. Sometimes the protests turn into outright violence. Members of parliament are threatened in a targeted manner. There are even tumultuous scenes in parliament. What is going on in France? Is the reform an imperative of common sense, an adjustment to reality that is being refused by the political extremes? Or is it exacerbating social inequality? Can the escalation be explained by the polarizing procedures and institutions or by the president's style? Is the anger at the government a release of years of pent-up frustration? What will the long-term consequences be?

Hélène Miard-Delacroix is Professor of History and Culture of Contemporary Germany at the Sorbonne; Kolja Lindner teaches in the Department of Political Science at the University of Paris X. Together we want to better understand how to interpret the events in France.

Organized by the network of university France and Francophonie centers in Germany as part of the online series "Deutsch-französische Perspektiven im Dialog" on the initiative of the Frankreichzentrum of the FU Berlin, the Centre Ernst Robert Curtius (CERC) of the University of Bonn, the Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie of the TU Dresden, and the IZKT of the University of Stuttgart.
