Further information on application and FOSTER

The Teaching Synergies Program (TSP) systematically integrates (early-career) researchers of DRESDEN-concept into research-oriented teaching at TUD. This is achieved through joint teaching activities and complemented by an accompanying qualification and quality assurance program.

The objectives of the TSP are:

• Creating synergies between TU Dresden and DRESDEN-concept in teaching
• Increasing the attractiveness of teaching at TUD by integrating extramural research excellence

As part of the TSP, lecturers and (early-career) researchers of DRESDEN-concept can profit from individual support and coaching in didactic questions regarding (research-oriented) teaching throughout the semester.

This includes:

• PowerPoint checks and individual lecture and presentation coaching
• Teaching coaching and didactic support for specific courses
• Conducting a Teaching Analysis Poll (TAP) for an interim evaluation of the course
• Conception and design of a teaching portfolio for applications
• Individual (didactic) support of teaching tandems

Excellent research will be integrated consistently in existing and new study programmes and will be made visible as Teaching Excellence Tracks.

Therefore, new research-orientated learning and teaching offers will be developed, and existing ones will be tied together to provide an interdisciplinary, compulsory curriculum for students interested in excellent research.
