Call for Nominations for Diversity-Sensitive Teaching Prizes 2019
This year, TU Dresden is awarding two Best Practice Prizes for diversity-sensitive teaching. The prizes are intended to highlight the crucial significance of excellent teaching for all students.
This year's competition is divided into two categories: one prize is being awarded for gender-sensitive teaching and the other for inclusive teaching.
All students and employees of TU Dresden can submit nominations for both prizes until 19th July 2019. The winners will then be selected by an expert commission on the basis of the award criteria (see below).
All students, employees, university initiatives and university groups at TU Dresden are eligible to submit nominations. Students are especially encouraged to participate by submitting suggestions. It is also possible to nominate yourself.
Prize for gender-sensitive teaching
The goal of the prize for gender-sensitive teaching is to acknowledge exemplary teaching concepts, courses and lecturers or professors that incorporate gender aspects into the course design. In this way, the students are made more aware of gender equality issues, which are an indispensable part of a modern and successful university.
A total of up to 2,500 euro in award money is available for the gender-sensitive teaching prize, which is financed by the Professorinnenprogramm II of the Federal and State Governments.

Prize for inclusive teaching
The goal of the prize for inclusive teaching is to acknowledge teaching concepts that proactively deal with the topic of inclusive and diversity-conscious teaching and lecturers and professors who apply this knowledge in their courses. This includes, for example, accessibility and incorporating topics on the inclusion of people with disabilities and other diversity aspects into teaching.
A total of up to 8,000 euro in award money is available for the inclusive teaching prize, which is financed from special funds for inclusion provided by the Saxon State Ministry for Higher Education, Research and the Arts.
