On 25 July 2019, this year's Trefftz professors met with the current Dresden Fellows and their TUD hosts for a summer lunch.

After a keynote by Prof. Anita Behme, holder of the Chair of Applied Stochastics and one of the first Trefftz professors (2013-2014), the 14 Dresden Fellows and six female Trefftz professors introduced themselves with their current research topics.

Since 2013, a total of 29 Trefftz professors have been invited to TU Dresden. The Eleonore Trefftz Programme for Visiting Women Professors is intended to promote female careers on the way to professorship and enables excellent female scientists to spend up to one year teaching and researching at the TU Dresden.

Within the framework of the Dresden Fellowship Programme, a total of 163 international guest scientists have followed the invitation of TU Dresden since 2013 to further develop scientific cooperation and joint research projects during a stay of up to six months.

Both programmes are funded by TU Dresden’s Institutional Strategy within the framework of the Excellence Initiative of the Federal and State Governments.
