What is the Center France | Francophonie?
The Center France | Francophonie (CFF ) sees itself as a platform for internationalization and interdisciplinary networking.
It promotes exchange between TU Dresden stakeholders and partners in France and the French-speaking countries in the scientific and cultural fields. The CFF networks existing and supports new activities in the three central areas of research, teaching and third mission.
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.
In addition to interdisciplinary networking at regional, national and international level, the CFF initiates its own long-term research fields and designs creative event formats. This includes, among other things, making visible existing collaborations between the TU Dresden's institutes and francophone partners from teaching, research, culture and business.
The CFF thus acts as a place for German-French and German-Francophone scientific and cultural exchange and as a contact point for international cooperation.
