Every year, TU Dresden honours a foreign student with the “DAAD Award for Foreign Students”. The award, endowed with 1,000 Euro, is presented to foreign students, who excel at their studies and are highly committed to social or intercultural causes.

Award Winner 2022: Yuliia Haluza (Student of the Master's programme "Regenerative Biology and Medicine")

Dr Maximina H. Yun from the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) nominated Ms Haluza as the award winner. She comes from Ukraine and has been studying in the Master's programme "Regenerative Biology and Medicine" at TU Dresden since the winter semester 2020.

The DAAD Prize 2022 honors Ms Haluza's commitment to helping Ukrainians during the ongoing war - throughout the CRTD and beyond. In doing so, she independently and on her own initiative organized the entire communication, fundraising, logistics for delivery and subsequent measures. She also succeeded in bringing Ukrainian refugees here in Dresden together with reliable hosts, thus providing these families with great relief from their hardship. She also participated in demonstrations for peace with Ukrainian and Russian students from the CRTD as a show of cross-border cohesion.
