Funding Program Internationalization
Within the framework of its internationalization strategy, TU Dresden pursues the goal of strengthening and multiplying connections all over the world. To this end, the university also supports international research projects financially with the help of a funding instrument created specifically for this purpose.
The funding program strengthens international collaborations so that far-reaching, research-intensive collaborations with an impact on studies, teaching and transfer can be established.
The program comprises two funding lines with the following orientation:
- Flexible funding program for internationalization
- Promotion of collaborations with strategic partners (TU Delft, Science Region Wroclaw, Science Region Prague)
- Mobility and visits between TU Dresden and the international partner
- (Structured) exchange of doctoral students as well as scientific and non-scientific personnel
- Events (conferences, summer schools, workshops)
- Preparation of joint publications
- Joint application for third-party funding for research projects with international partners
- Development and anchoring of (digitally supported) study programs
- Travel and accommodation expenses (DAAD flat rates are a guideline)
- Expenses for workshops, scientific events
