About the Program

The Eleonore-Trefftz-Program at TU Dresden makes temporary stays possible for visiting women scientists who represent their subject in teaching and research at a respective faculty. Female professors, junior professors and junior researchers who are at least at an advanced stage of their postdoc can hold visiting professorships for 3 to 12 months researching and teaching.

The program serves to promote careers for women on their path to a professorship. Visiting professors also act as role models for female students and young female researchers from those subjects which have currently few or no women professors, encouraging them to choose an academic career.

Note

There are no new tenders currently planned for the program.
