Active recruitment in combination with tailored applicant field screening and a target group-specific active outreach supplements the corresponding regular planning, application and selection phases in the appointment process at TUD. The aim of this holistic and binding recruitment approach is to noticeably increase diversity in applications for professorships as well as the proportion of previously underrepresented groups at this career level. Active recruitment enables and intends the conception, implementation and evaluation of visits and stays for excellent future professors at different points in the appointment process. The success of these activities is reflected in the recruitment and long-term retention of excellent international academics at TUD.

In order to retain the best minds in the long term, the Dual Career Service offers the partners of newly appointed (junior) professors individually tailored information and support in the phase of professional reorientation. In doing so, the Dual Career Service sees itself not only as a door opener and source of advice for career changes, but also as a holistic service partner for additional matters relating to family, housing and life in Dresden. With these services, TUD strives to welcome newly appointed professors and their families to their new home and offer support in a tailored format wherever it is needed.

Thanks to the "FOSTER" measure, students and lecturers can now apply for funding to promote research-based learning and teaching. Funding is provided, for example, for student participation in research competitions or international conferences, for arranging student research activities (e.g., research projects, exhibitions of student research, publication of student research results), as well as for developing and carrying out research-focused teaching and learning formats (modules, summer schools, tutorials, etc.). In addition to providing students with financial aid for their further professional development, FOSTER supports student research by offering sponsored students workshops on academic writing and other topics, as well as by providing lecturers with advice on the didactic concepts used in their teaching and learning formats.

The goal is to create incentives for student research, to strengthen interdisciplinary approaches, and to help the next generation of academics become more familiar with research culture and to ultimately attract them to TUD to conduct excellent scientific work. Smaller grants can be applied for at the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL); targeted calls for projects with more extensive scopes will be made each year. The FOSTER program is slated to become permanent by 2026.

The aim of the emerging field is to broadly examine and research cultural manifestations as well as the consequences of processes of change in society. Main focal points include social and cultural conflict research, the study of the relationship between social dynamics and emotional orders, and the exploration of disruptive phenomena with regard to digitalization, as well as the tension-prone interplay between culture and technology. The newly established Chair of Digital Cultures reflects the social dynamics of digitalization in research and teaching, e.g., in the new master’s degree in Digital Humanities. Theoretical and case-related research on constellations and effects of societal change include the expertise and the full potential of TU Dresden and its partners. This will enable the generation of additional transdisciplinary impulses for the future orientation of Humanities and Social Sciences at TU Dresden, as they are already laid out in additional tenure track professorships and the Open Topic Postdoc program.

The emerging field of water research is a measure as part of the Excellence Strategy of TU Dresden and is supported by a multidisciplinary team, consisting of scientists from the three departments of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences as well as the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ). It is our mission to tame water extremes. To help achieve this goal, we are conducting research on the adaptation of our natural and urban water systems to climate extremes, such as periods of heat and drought, heavy precipitation, and flooding, as well as to continuing land-use change and increased pollutant discharge. We aim to enhance the resilience of our water systems and minimize the negative effects of extremes on water quality and quantity as much as possible.

As part of the emerging field, the new Chair “Data Analytics in Hydro Sciences” was established in joint appointment with the UFZ, which has been filled by Professor Jakob Zscheischler since March 2023.

Current key topics of the emerging field are:

• Influence of climate-induced changes and extremes on aquatic ecosystems and pollutant dynamics and impacts; opportunities to improve resilience and ensure water quality through adaptive management
• Impact of climate-related changes and extremes on urban drainage basins and their interaction with natural hydrological drainage basins, opportunities for climate adaptation, goal of zero pollution
• Management strategies for transforming forestry toward drought-resilient, climate-adapted forests and their role in water balance

The focus of this Emerging Field is on designing efficient, safe, and intelligent transport systems. Transport and mobility are being rethought under the normative vision of sustainable development. Research on user needs and mobility services will drive and simultaneously inspire research on new automated and connected technologies. Five key areas have been defined for this integrative research approach:

• technological innovations
• user needs & mobility concepts
• governance & transition paths
• overarching research & simulation methods
• research laboratories & driving simulators

Close interdisciplinary cooperation of the focus areas is the central success factor for the holistic and systemic research on automated and networked mobility. TU Dresden pools the expertise of the largest Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences in Germany as well as various other partners at TU Dresden in the DRESDEN-concept network as well as with non-university research institutes and industry. Construction and infrastructure measures, planned large-scale research projects, and two research training groups on scenarios, evaluation, and acceptance of highly automated mobility offer excellent conditions. An Excellence Chair of Transport Modeling & Simulation should accelerate development.

The Center Synergy of Systems (SynoSys) develops transdisciplinary approaches and methods in the fields of network science, data science, digital science and citizen science with the aim of conducting integrative research into complex phenomena at the interfaces between biomedicine, social sciences and life sciences. The focus is on dynamic phenomena such as pandemics, chronic diseases, mental health, planetary health, and the emergence of cooperative systems in biology and society, which cannot be understood solely through individual, traditional sub-disciplines, but only through lateral perspectives and integrative methods from complexity research. SynoSys is not only a think tank – it’s also a “link tank” that teaches early career researchers about complexity research and science beyond disciplinary boundaries. As a department of the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences (CIDS), SynoSys is a node in the network of transdisciplinary research.

In order to provide scientists with better access to specialised equipment and adequate services, joint technology platforms are being established. The goal is to use investments efficiently and to ensure their planning security in the long term. Through the joint use of equipment and laboratory infrastructure, duplicate purchases are avoided, the costs of servicing and maintenance distributed, and access and availability improved. For a smooth implementation, this paradigm shift from “owning” to “using” is accompanied by communication, standardization and manifestation in target agreements.

Excellent science communication is playing an ever more central role: Communicating science to society in an understandable way is meant tp promote a constructive and democratic culture of debate. For this reason, TUD trains its researchers and staff with the help of lectures and in science communication workshops to both enable and motivate them to go public with their research on their own. The TUD Young Communicators - a student video team - is helping to develop high-quality video formats specifically for younger target groups. Today, TUD increasingly relies on visual and interactive communication, such as infographics or playful approaches.

The exchange of knowledge with civil society through dialogue is what characterizes the "TUD in Dialogue" program, a measure that is anchored in the Directorate University Culture. The measure addresses topics such as the promotion of democracy and democratic values, social cohesion, participation, anti-racism, diversity and inclusion as well as sustainability. "TUD in Dialogue" sees itself as a science communication tool that is innovative, targeted and has its finger on the pulse of the times. To this end, the Excellence measure creates spaces for low-threshold formats for dialogue and participation between researchers and citizens in Dresden and the region. The aim of the formats, which are mostly outreach in nature, is to promote a constructive culture of debate and contribute to reducing skepticism towards science.

TUD in Dialogue

TU Dresden will celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding with a ceremony on May 1, 2028, marking the start of the subsequent anniversary celebrations. The 200-day celebration program, which will run until November 2028, will provide an opportunity to strengthen the relevance and effectiveness of TUD for all stakeholders.
With a diverse celebratory program that will focus on current topics and focal points of TU Dresden, TUD invites its guests, students and employees, as well as citizens and local and international partners to the campus and to events in the region. The TUD presents itself as a cosmopolitan, committed, responsible, regionally anchored and internationally oriented top university that is helping to shape the transformation of science and society in a forward-looking way. To this end, numerous events and formats are being planned together, which will contribute to closer networking and cooperation with stakeholders from politics, business, media and society as well as the science community. Our important global partners, whether from Europe, the USA, India or Taiwan, will also help shape the program.
The anniversary will thus not only commemorate achievements and celebrate current accomplishments, but also pave the way for future developments, transformations and successes at TUD.

This measure pursues the goal of developing processes and tools for strategy work. Both the development and implementation of the strategy as well as the analysis and monitoring of strategy implementation are taken into account. The measure also includes the renewal of TU Dresden's mission statement. To safeguard the capacity for renewal and the position of TU Dresden as a University of Excellence in the long-term, special attention is paid to the active integration of the competencies of TUD members in the development of the university and the formulation of overall and sub-strategies.

The leadership culture project is part of personnel and organizational development at TU Dresden and supports the development of leadership culture at TU Dresden. The project aims to establish a common understanding of leadership based on our TUD values in a participative process with managers and staff of all TUD Schools. An additional aim is to formulate leadership guidelines, which are shared by managers at all careers levels and in all areas of responsibility. Based on these, the structural framework for leadership will be reviewed and personnel development tools and programs (continuing education, workshops, team building and networking measures) will be further developed.

For us, compliance means responsibly adhering to the law and to internal forms of governance, including regulations, statutes and instructions. Compliance is a key component of our members’ and associate members’ daily practice in education, research, transfer and administration. With the involvement of all university groups and staff representatives, we have established the Compliance Management System (CMS), which is tailored to the specific aspects of our various areas of activity, to firmly cement effective compliance at TUD. It is supported by four main pillars:

• Compliance in science and research
• Compliance in education
• Compliance in administration
• Compliance in interpersonal relations

The “Campus Development” measure aims to design the main campus as an expression of the Dresden spirit and to more closely connect the individual buildings and areas. The campus design master plan provides the conceptual foundation for the development of appealing outdoor spaces with excellent amenities. The future campus also includes TU Dresden’s accessible guidance and orientation system, featuring a uniform, bilingual, visual, and tactile wayfinding system. To make the campus socially and environmentally sustainable, the measure also aims to promote biodiversity and sustainable mobility within the university. The „Green Office“ of TU Dresden was established in 2021 as a contact point and for networking the activities aimed at improving ecological sustainability at TU Dresden.

The establishment of the Green Office in 2021 provides both employees and students who want to get involved in the topic with a low-threshold contact and service option. Sustainability can only be practiced institution-wide if the university community is institutionally supported in its commitment and is given opportunities for participation. The Green Office makes this possible. Stakeholders and projects are specifically connected with each other, made visible, and enabled to take concrete action. As a coordination and networking hub, the Green Office primarily operates in the areas of dialogue and transfer as well as education for sustainable development.

The Project House Future will be erected at the heart of the main campus of TU Dresden. Covering topics from all Schools, the building will offer both scientists and students the opportunity to get talking to each other, advance joint scientific work and present research results. This togetherness will allow new initiatives and project ideas to be developed and put into practice until they are ready for application.

Equality and diversity are anchored as interdepartmental topics in the TALENT and SPIRIT target corridors. In recent years, we have launched directives such as the 2030 Diversity Strategy, the Gender Equality Concept and the action plan for implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at TU Dresden, and we have designed and implemented a wide variety of measures and formats within these fields of action. Successful examples of inclusive and overarching programs include the Gender Equality and Diversity Incentive Fund, the Diversity-Sensitive Teaching Award and the Diversity Days. TU Dresden is actively shaping and fulfilling its societal responsibility as a modern organization with exemplary character by further developing and expanding the fields of action and impact zones in the context of diversity.
