Excellence Strategy: Three Clusters of Excellence
Table of contents
On 27 September 2018 three TUD Clusters of Exzellence have been approved for funding as part of the Excellence Strategy. The three Clusters started their work on 1 January 2019:
CeTI: Centre for Tactile Internet
Spokesperson: Prof. Frank Fitzek
The Cluster of Excellence CeTI aims to expedite the efficient cooperation between man and machine. A future application is the co-working of man and machine with mutual learning. This endeavour requires both innovative communication technologies in ‘real time’ as well as an understanding of the human body and its reactions.

ct.qmat: Complexity and Topology in Quantum Materials
Spokesperson: Prof. Matthias Vojta
Pioneering materials with tailor-made functions are the basis for progress in virtually all areas of modern technology. The Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat places emphasis on quantum mechanisms on the atomic scale, which, in conjunction with topological physics and the chemical and physical complexities, reveals hitherto unprecedented properties and phenomena. This cluster proposal was submitted in cooperation with the University of Würzburg.

Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg & Technische Universität Dresden
PoL: Physics of Life
Spokesperson: Prof. Stephan Grill
To fathom life is one of the greatest and most complex scientific challenges. The Cluster of Excellence PoL aims to investigate the fundamental issues in cell and developmental biology and initiate a paradigm shift: to create understanding of the underlying biological processes of life as complex physical phenomena.

The approved Clusters of Excellence belong to TUD’s Research Priority Areas of Health Sciences, Biomedicine and Bioengineering; Smart Materials and Structures as well as Information Technology and Microelectronics.
Starting on 1 January 2019, the three Clusters of Excellence will receive funding for the next seven years.
TU Dresden submitted six full proposals for Clusters of Excellence in the framework of the Excellence Strategy ("ExStra"). We started out in the "ExStra" race with eight cluster draft proposals in April 2017.
