From current research to tidbits about student life to exciting events, TUD’s social media team posts the most important latest news from campus right on TUD’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TUDresden.

Even those without their own Facebook account can access our page. However, an account is required for interaction. If you “like” the TUD Facebook page, our posts will appear in your news feed, making it easier to comment and share with friends. We are always open to questions and feedback.

YouTube

Our YouTube channel youtube.com/TUDresdenTV features videos on campus life, degree programs at TU Dresden and current research.

Student vlogs, unique insight and thought-provoking reportages can be found on the TU Dresden entdecken and TU Dresden probieren channels.

TU Dresden is also in the fediverse – using Mastodon for science communication topics. Plus, you can find the university on LinkedIn and Xing.

TUD Young Communicators

What does the city of the future look like? How can I get involved as a student? What is there for me to discover beyond TU Dresden’s lecture halls? The TUD Young Communicators feature perspectives and topics from students. They support the social media team and develop their own campaigns for target group-specific content marketing.

In the “Richard/Aline testet...” (“Richard/Alina have a closer look at…”) series, the students record their own videos about campus happenings that could interest their peers. They are part of the editorial team of the “Gute Frage” (“Good question”) and “Kurze Frage” (“Quick question”) science communication series and create additional content for TU Dresden’s social media channels.

The team therefore contributes to TU Dresden’s strategic goals as part of the Excellence Strategy of bringing innovative, target group-oriented and inspirational communication to life – funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Free State of Saxony under the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments.
