​In 2020, the Internationalization Award was announced with a focus on special commitment to a culture of welcome. This year, two initiatives and two individuals will receive awards:

• X-Mas Tram e.V.: Under the motto "So that no one has to celebrate Christmas alone!" the association is committed to Christmas buddies between international students and Dresden citizens.
• International Theatre Workshop: Since 2016, international and German university members of TU Dresden have been meeting to play theater together in order to directly experience and reflect on different cultures.
• Siavash Ghiasvand: At the "Science Beer" event, scientists present their research topics once a month in Dresden bars and exchange ideas with colleagues and people interested in science.
• Fatema Darbar: For the past six years, Fatema Darbar has organized a regular get-together for international and German university members, thus contributing to the integration of international people into German society.
