70+30 - a double anniversary in the spirit of the future
Next year, we will celebrate a double anniversary for two institutions united by scientific excellence, innovation and active cooperation:
-
70 years of university teaching and research for processing machines and processing technology at TUD Dresden University of Technology
-
30 years of applied research for safe food, sustainable packaging and intelligent processes at the Fraunhofer IVV Dresden
To mark this occasion, a celebratory symposium titled "100 Years of Innovations in Processing Technology and Packaging" will be held on March 12, 2026.
Celebratory Symposium "100 Years of Innovations in Processing Technology and Packaging", March 12, 2026
Look forward to a compelling program that brings the development of the "Food Processing and Packaging Hub Dresden" to life, from academic education and basic research to science-to-industry transfer, enabling safe, sustainable and technologically advanced production.
