About the University-wide inaugural lecture
Newly appointed professors who are renowned for their outstanding research work and international reputation are choosing to move to TU Dresden. The areas of research pursued by our new members are interdisciplinary in nature.
Internationally visible, newly appointed professors working in strategically relevant research areas make a decisive contribution to the development of our university. Therefore, TU Dresden welcomes enthusiastic individuals who increase the attractiveness of Dresden as a science hub and whose numerous activities connect TUD and DRESDEN-concept partners across the city.
University-wide inaugural lectures are hosted in consultation with the appointing faculties and associated institutions.
