Participation in the "Network Leadership and Career in Science" (supraregional, for tenure tracks from Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia). The jointly designed Workshop program complements the offerings of the participating universities and serves to provide interdisciplinary qualification.

About the program

The background to the development and thus also the funding of the YOUProf program is The Joint Federal Government-Länder Tenure-Track Program adopted by the BMBF in 2016. The aim of the program is the sustainable implementation of so-called tenure-track professorships. These positions are initially limited to a maximum of six years, and after a probationary phase (so-called tenure track) with successful evaluation, the transition to a lifetime professorship is to follow immediately. More information can be found on the website of the BMBF and the website of the appointment officers of the TU Dresden. At TU Dresden, there are currently almost 30 tenure-track position holders.
