Despite the corona crisis the scientific work at TU Dresden continues. The worldwide pandemic has itself become a research topic. Numerous scientific research studies in all Schools of the university are focusing on the manifold effects of the pandemic on society.

Lighter, more flexible, more efficient: Can carbon concrete composites replace reinforced concrete in the future? The 220 square meter experimental building made from carbon fibres and concrete allows to investigate this question from a structural, static and physical point of view.

The Transfer Office infuses knowledge into society, markets outstanding research results to business and fosters long-term collaborations. Our mission: strength in research – strength in knowledge transfer.

It can be as simple as that: Accessible communication facilitates true participation. With three projects, the Institute of German Studies demonstrates how everyday communication problems may be overcome.

A house for young scientists: The Graduate Academy is the central contact point for all doctoral candidates and postdocs. More than 2,500 members already take advantage of its offers.

Effective, environmentally friendly and flexible: wood fibre-based flakes will help fight future oil spills, even in adverse weather. Revolutionising marine conservation with little helpers.

Her research area transcends disciplinary boundaries. Hence, the vacancy at the Open-Topic-Professorships was a stroke of luck for Prof. Sabine Müller-Mall. An appointment into uncharted territory.

Type 1 diabetes is the most common metabolic disease in children and adolescents. It is caused by a faulty reaction of the immune system, which leads to the destruction of insulin-producing cells. All parents living in Saxony can have their child (up to the age of four months) tested for Type 1 diabetes, free of charge.

Freshwater pearl mussels act as a biological filter and ensure clean waters. In the past, they were often found in local rivers and lakes, but today they are threatened with extinction. In the “ArKoNaVera” project, scientists aim to stablise the stocks with renaturation, breeding and reintroduction programmes.

More than 8,000 tons of pharmaceuticals are consumed in Germany every year. Together with the University of Gdańsk, TU Dresden is investigating which antibiotics, beta-blockers and other substances get into the water and how they behave in the environment.

BioDIP is one of the cooperation projects of DRESDEN-concept, an Alliance between TU Dresden and 31 strong, research-focused partners. Research means cooperation!

Using a particle accelerator deep within the mines of the „Felsenkeller“, scientists from TU Dresden and HZDR explore the processes inside the inner core of stars. The rock shields against solar radiation, permitting sensitive materials research to be conducted.
