Die Formate der „Orientierungsplattform Forschung & Praxis“ (OFP) bieten Studierenden Einblicke in potenzielle Tätigkeitsfelder in Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen. Das Spektrum der Angebote reicht von Workshops über Exkursionen und Praxisprojektwochen bis hin zu großen Vortragsveranstaltungen. Die Teilnahme lohnt sich doppelt: Studierende sammeln nicht nur praktische Erfahrungen, sondern können für viele OFP-Veranstaltungen auch Leistungspunkte (z.B. im Rahmen der AQUA) erwerben. Die OFP ist Teil des „Studienerfolgsleitsystems“ der TU Dresden.
