Creating general conditions in which the internationalisation of teaching and research can unfold in the best way possible is one strategic goal TU Dresden has set itself in its Internationalisation Strategy “TU Dresden – Connected to the World”.
Our International Staff Training Weeks aim to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and best practices regarding the internationalisation of institutions of higher education and to inspire its participants to effectively shape this development process.

TU Dresden’s third "International Staff Training Week“ took place from June 12-16, 2017. Some 50 non-academic employees from international universities participated in the event.
In the five expert groups – International Office, Career Service, DRESDEN-concept, Staff Unit Diversity Management, and, together as one group, the European Project Center, Transfer Unit and Project Scouts – participants dealt with daily work flows and forms of cooperation. They learned about individual projects of the Excellence Initiative and about further internationalisation measures.
As part of the extensive programme planned for their visit, they were also shown around the Max-Planck-Institut für molekulare Zellbiologie und Genetik, a DRESDEN-concept partner, and the Cluster of Excellence Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD).
