TU Dresden has introduced innovative dialogue and participation formats to foster exchange with civil society and to highlight current interdisciplinary topics. The “TU Dresden in Dialogue” seeks to implement this concern as part of the Excellence Strategy. It creates space and interaction to share knowledge based on open communication, both inside and outside the university. As an interface between science, society, business and politics, “TU Dresden in Dialogue” provides an easily accessible platform to share views among equals.

“Diversity in Dialogue” is the new event series at TU Dresden. Together with a variety of collaboration partners from civil society, it will engage with a broad audience from Saxony to discuss migration issues in autumn/winter 2020. Featuring a range of different formats, including an art workshop, digital readings and panel discussions, the individual events will seek to develop and discuss fresh perspectives on relevant topics for a culturally diverse society based on current research findings and practical experience.

The event series is organised by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (including the Centre for Integration Studies) and the School of Science at TU Dresden, as well as by two extramural parties: anDemos – Institut für angewandte Demokratie- und Sozialforschung e.V. and Kulturbüro Sachsen e.V.
