A science cruise of the DRESDEN-concept research alliance on the Elbe river, an app starring a cat fascinated by quantum physics or the decoding of the superpowers of bats - for more than 10 years, the Excellence Newsletter has been providing monthly information on both the progress of the Excellence activities and research achievements as well as personalities in the Excellence and Research Clusters of TU Dresden.

On January 4, 2011, the first edition of the "Newsletter on the Excellence Initiative" was sent as a PDF attachment, thus launching the TUD-wide communication about the Institutional Strategy and the associated entry into the German national excellence competition. On June 15, 2012, the press release was published as a special edition on the successful acquisition of the "University of Excellence" title as well as the approved Clusters of Excellence and a graduate school. TU Dresden was able to defend this excellent title two years ago. For this purpose, a special edition was published on July 19, 2019 announcing the decision from the Excellence Strategy.  

"As the Rector of TU Dresden, I am delighted that our Excellence Newsletter has such an enthusiastic following. One of the major goals of the Extended Rectorate for the next five years is to successfully develop and realize the EXU strategy "Synergy and beyond" which was successful during the last round of the Excellence competition. For the purposes of internal as well as external communication, the Excellence Newsletter contributes to this endeavor in many important ways. I am very pleased that many subscribe to our newsletter to keep themselves 'excellently' informed," explains Rector Prof. Ursula M. Staudinger.    

On July 9, 2021, we will publish the 100^th edition of the newsletter. You are not yet subscribed? Then, sing up to the Excellence Newsletter with just one click! You can find the online subscription form and the anniversary issue on our website https://tu-dresden.de/exzellenz/newsletter.

The Excellence Newsletter is part of the EXU measure "Communication Excellence Strategy" and an integral tool for TUD’s for TUD’s excellent communication. We would like to ensure that as many TUD members and external partners as possible are aware of the TUD Excellence Program and feel informed and involved.
