As of 20^th April, TU Dresden will gradually resume laboratory-based research, including the necessary operation of the workshops.  The University Executive Board took this decision in consultation with the Crisis Management Team. All other activities will continue according to the emergency operations mode.

This was announced to all staff of TU Dresden today (14^th April 2020) by Professor Gerhard Rödel, the Vice-Rector for Research.  He emphasised: “The guiding principle is, of course, not to endanger the health of anyone and to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 as far as possible.  This means that corresponding regulations of the federal government, the state or the City of Dresden must be observed under all circumstances. These superordinate regulations might override TUD-specific measures.” 

At the same time, members of staff were informed which regulations and protective measures must be observed during lab work.
