Students who are particularly interested in research and their supervising lecturers can apply for funding for

• Participation in national and international research competitions
• Organisation of student research activities at TU Dresden (e.g. research projects, student research conferences, exhibitions of student research, publication of student research results, etc.)
• Student Academic Travel Awards (STATA) to promote networking and academic exchange (national and international)
• Funding of research-orientated learning and teaching formats (support for the development of learning and teaching offers, such as modules, summer schools, tutorials, projects etc.)

For funding by FOSTER up to an application sum of 1,000 €, enquiries can already be made at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (with a brief outline, cost planning, time schedule and contact details to: zill@tu-dresden.de).  Targeted calls and the possibility to apply for more extensive projects are anticipated for the second half of 2020.

(Early career) researchers of DRESDEN-concept will be integrated into research-orientated teaching at TUD systematically by:

• joint teaching activities and
• an accompanying programme for qualification and quality assurance.

The objectives of TSP are to create synergies between TU Dresden und DRESDEN-concept in the field of teaching as well as to increase the attractiveness of teaching at TUD by integrating extramural research excellence.

The start of TSP is expected to be in the second half of 2020.

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.
