Where curiosity creates knowledge: TUD to participate in Dresden Science Night with over 250 events

See experiments up close, take a peek behind the scenes, discover the technologies of the future: TUD Dresden University of Technology is participating in this year’s Dresden Science Night on June 26, 2026, offering a wide range of activities. Visitors to TUD can look forward to over 250 presentations, experiments, guided tours, and much more at interactive stations.

During the Dresden Science Night you are invited to explore places and laboratories that are otherwise off-limits, extending far beyond the TUD | Südvorstadt Campus . In Johannstadt, the Faculty of Medicine and the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering will present the life sciences to people of all ages. The COSMO Science Forum in central Dresden will open its doors with a variety of entertaining activities. Deep underground in the south of Dresden, visitors can tour the Felsenkeller and its particle accelerator.

Night owls can expect a program highlight on TUD's main campus, on the lawn behind the Auditorium Center: a fully packed stage program, with presentations by the Clusters of Excellence, and, as the grand finale, the TUD Science Slam.
