Excellence as a driving force
Since 2012, TU Dresden has been one of the eleven German Universities of Excellence and is one of the leading and most dynamic research institutions in Germany. This Excellence status has initiated a dynamic change process at TUD. The university has become even more interdisciplinary and international, attracting outstanding researchers from all over the world. At the same time, this award means a great responsibility and is an incentive to continue to be excellent.
