The Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie (CFF), founded at the end of 2017 and confirmed by the University Executive Board as a scientific institution of the TUD since October 2024, is broadly interdisciplinary and has members from numerous faculties, in addition to those from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, also from the Faculties of Civil Engineering, Biology, Chemistry and Food Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, Medicine, Mechanical Science and Engineering, Physics and Environmental Sciences.
The CFF sees itself as a
- A place for German-Francophone scientific and cultural exchange
- Contact point for international cooperation
- the transfer of expertise on francophone cultural areas.
It 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 student college "Construire les différences" / Collège doctoral franco-allemand "Construire les différences", funded by the Franco-German University in Saarbrücken.
The CFF is a founding member of the network of university France and Francophonie centers in Germany, a network of currently thirteen academic centers at the universities of Berlin, Bonn, Bremen/Flensburg/Rostock, Dresden, Freiburg, Leipzig, Mainz, Münster, Paderborn, Saarbrücken, Stuttgart and Tübingen, as well as at the Mannheim University of Applied Sciences, which are committed to intensifying Franco-German university cooperation.

Reading and talk - Simon Chevrier: Photo on request

Simon Chevrier received the prestigious Goncourt du Premier Roman 2025, France's highest honor for a debut novel, for Photo on Demand. Photo on Demand is an unsparing and touching portrait of a queer Generation Z that seeks to find a foothold in today by fraternizing with yesterday.
Simon Chevrier, born in 1992, studied English and literature in Le Havre, London and Galway. In his native France, his debut novel Photo on Demand has often been compared to Annie Ernaux.
