Since 2013, the Eleonore Trefftz Programme for Visiting Women Professors has enabled excellent female scientists to spend up to one year teaching and researching at TU Dresden.

Dr. Verena Behringer (MPI-EVA, Leipzig) joined the Institute of Zoology at the beginning of the year, and since then, three more visiting women professors have already accepted appointments at TUD:

Christina Köchling (Architectural Office Felgendreher Olfs Köchling, Berlin) will be a guest at the Chair of Public Buildings and Design until 31 August 2019.

Dr. Lana Ivanjek (University of Vienna) will be visiting the Chair of Didactics of Physics until 31 July 2019.

Dr. Nayla Fawzi (LMU Munich) will be working at the Institute of Media and Communication until 30 September 2019.

Last but not least, Prof. Angela Slavova from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences will be the fifth scientist in the programme. Starting in mid-July, she will be a guest at the Chair of Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering for three months.

This means that during the last seven years, 28 outstanding women scientists have come to TU Dresden under the Eleonore Trefftz Programme for Visiting Women Professors. The programme is financed by the Institutional Strategy as part of the Excellence Initiative of the Federal and State Governments.
