"Lighthouses" of Internationalization

At regular intervals, the TU Dresden awards decentralized partnerships, networks and programs as "Lighthouse". The projects selected here comprise international relations and activities with a TUD-wide significance. They are characterized by a subject-specific orientation, so that they stand as "Lighthouses" for the quality, breadth and diversity of the TU Dresden in internationalization. In the first round of the 2021 call, a total of 22 initiatives out of 78 submissions were awarded for their valuable contribution to the international position of TU Dresden. Among them are 2 projects from the area of mathematics and natural sciences, which were awarded as "lighthouse" in the categories "partnerships" and "country networks":

The area of Mathematics and Natural Sciences received the "Lighthouse" award in 2021 for its activity "Japan":

Partnership: Stellenbosch University (South Africa)

The Stellenbosch University (South Africa) – one of South Africa's leading universities with an excellent reputation worldwide – is an important partner of the School of Science and the Center for Teacher Education and Educational Research. For both sides, this partnership has great strategic relevance beyond mere mobilities.

  • The research-related stays of the Phd students aim at working on qualification projects under mutual professorial supervision and form a basis for further cooperation activities and their inter-institutional continuation.
  • The digital appearances and, in some cases, stays by university teachers are embedded in different teaching formats, with the approach of tandem teaching (joint teaching by guest and host) being tested.  Students from both universities can complete these.
  • The exchange of non-scientific staff helps to launch the collaboration on important current topics such as Big Data, governance and monitoring strategic internationalization.

The regular exchange between both universities promotes the sustainable development of the partnership.

Country Network: Japan

In 2014, Osaka University was declared a strategic partner of the School of Science, TU Dresden.

Since then, Japanese and Dresden scientists have generated a large number of joint activities, also beyond the borders of Osaka and the Kansai Region. In the meantime, about 20 universities and research institutes from several regions of Japan have been included in the multifaceted collaboration strands. Institutes from the DRESDEN-concept alliance are also integrated in the joint projects developed at the faculties of TU Dresden, especially the Helmholtz Centre Dresden Rossendorf. As the variety of formats suggests, all relevant academic target groups are included in the partnership work: students, teachers, researchers and administrative staff. With a view to future activities, this sets the course for continuity, sustainability and commitment on both sides.

A significant instrument of networking and partnership development is the interdisciplinary symposium iJaDe, which takes place every three years, alternately in Dresden and in Japan.

Strategic partnership "transCampus with King’s College London"

transCampus London - Dresden  is a research-intensive partnership between King’s College London and Technische Universität Dresden, providing joint research projects and exchange programs for scientists and students in medicine and biotechnology, engineering, natural sciences, and the humanities.
The transCampus funding program aims to strengthen cooperation between King’s College London and Technische Universität Dresden and therefore supports initiatives that start or expand various forms of cooperation.
At the School of Science, this interdisciplinary cooperation is being further consolidated and expanded across subjects. Scientists from the research areas of mathematics, biology and psychology are actively involved.

transCampus projects funded in 2020 of the School of Science

The following projects of the School of Science were selected for funding in 2020 within the transCampus funding program:

Virtual lectures of King’s College London

As part of the transCampus initiative, students of degree programs in mathematics have the additional opportunity to attend virtual lectures offered by King’s College London.
