Dialog and Transfer
Table of contents
"We will play a central role in the public discourse on sustainable development of Dresden, Saxony, and beyond."
Communication on sustainability activities into and from within the university is playing an increasingly important role, especially in view of the social responsibility that TU Dresden is assuming in this area. This communicative task on social responsibility is to be expanded in various approaches to knowledge and technology transfer, such that TU Dresden takes on a pivotal role in the public discourse on sustainable development in society.
Our objectives
With its Sustainability Strategy, TU Dresden is committed to the following goals:
- TU Dresden intensively promotes the transfer of sustainability-related topics— locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally—and the interlinking of science and practice.
- As a social stakeholder, TU Dresden plays a central role in the public discourse on sustainable development in society.
