Projects and measures
TU Dresden has made tremendous progress over the past decades compared to other universities in Germany and abroad. The peak of this development is marked by the university being awarded the renewed University of Excellence status in 2019. The measures outlined in the Excellence proposal can be divided into five strategic areas with 13 projects:
Table of contents
Talent
In the strategic area of activity TALENT, TU Dresden pursues the goal of actively finding and recruiting dedicated researchers from around the world who shape their academic discipline with excellent research and offering them attractive working conditions as well as the greatest possible opportunities for professional development.
Attracting Excellent Professors
To safeguard the strategic orientation and the capacity for renewal of TUD, the University will optimize and reorganize its appointment procedures. To further professionalize the appointment process, a package of interlocking activities will be introduced or rather implemented. At the same time, standardized criteria will become mandatory for all procedures, thus ensuring the quality of the selection process. In the medium term, it is envisaged that, for example, tools for potential analysis and assessment of the appointment committees when selecting professors will be developed. In addition, the fast-track procedure stipulated in TUD’s appointment regulations is to become the standard in order to further streamline the procedures and shorten their duration.

In order to attract the brightest minds, TUD is introducing an international active recruitment process that is binding for all appointment procedures. Active recruitment will be carried out in addition to the usual job advertisements and will increase the number of applicants. To this end, TUD also aims to expand its cooperation with the DRESDEN-concept partners. Throughout the entire recruitment procedure, the conception, implementation and evaluation of a program of academic visits for future excellent professors will be made possible. As part of onboarding, the support of junior professorships is to be continued and strengthened, and the teaching hours of first-time appointees reduced. The Dual Career Service supports the partners of new appointees in making the new city their home and in continuing their own professional careers.

Research-Oriented Teaching
As part of FOSTER, students and lecturers can apply for funds to promote research-guided learning and teaching. Funding is available e.g. for student participation in research competitions or international conferences, for the organization of student research activities (such as research projects, student research conferences, exhibitions of student research, publication of student research results) as well as for the development and implementation of research-oriented teaching and learning formats (modules, summer schools, tutorials etc.).
The goal is to create an incentive for student research, to strengthen interdisciplinarity, to familiarize young academics with research culture, and ultimately to win them over to participate in excellent science at TUD. Funding up to a sum of 10,000EUR can already be requested at the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL); targeted calls, including more extensive calls for projects, will follow on an annual basis. After 2026, the FOSTER program is to be set up permanently.

The intention of the Teaching Excellence Tracks measure is to integrate attractive research content from the Clusters of Excellence and the Collaborative Research Centres into existing degree programs in the form of elective modules or so-called tracks. These tracks are mostly seminars held in English, internships and projects, and can also be used in new teaching and learning formats that link several Research Priority Areas of TUD in terms of interdisciplinarity. Scientists working at the clusters or the DRESDEN-concept partner institutions carry out these research-oriented events with the (digital) infrastructure of their institutions. In this way, access to cutting-edge research for outstanding students is being embedded in the TUD curriculum. This increases the application-oriented understanding of scientific excellence and its visibility in degree courses.

Profile
In the strategic area of activity PROFILE, TU Dresden pursues the goal of further developing itself as a technical, comprehensive university with a greater disciplinary range to a national and international top-level, to realize internationally visible, excellent research in all Research Priority Areas and to implement broad interdisciplinarity on an equal basis.
Strengthening potential areas
This Emerging Field focuses on the cultural and social impact of digitalization by reinforcing existing cutting-edge research (e.g., CRC 1285). The latter explores moments of disruption in historical and present social upheavals, such as the production of knowledge, popular culture, and (de-)globalization processes. A newly established Chair of Digital Cultures reflects the social dynamics of digitalization in research and teaching, such as in the new master’s degree in Digital Humanities. Theoretical and case-related research on constellations and effects of social change include the full performance 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 “Smart Water Systems in an Extreme World” addresses the increasing threat of extremes on the coupled human-environment water systems. Periods of heat and drought, heavy precipitation and flooding, as well as pollutants and land-use change make securing water resources for humans and the environment a major societal challenge. The research cluster will characterize the key drivers of extremes, predict the resulting impacts on coupled water systems, while developing and implementing smart adaptation strategies in functional, digital twins. The objective is to increase the resilience of water systems and to reduce negative effects on humans and the environment as far as possible.
The Emerging Field is a joint initiative of the water research departments at TU Dresden and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ, which have been collaborating at the Center for Advanced Water Research (CAWR) since 2013. In order to achieve a leading, international position in this Emerging Field, the soon to be vacant professorships within the Department of Hydrosciences will be consistently aligned with it. In addition, two new chairs in the field of “Data Science in Smart Hydrosystems” will be established, one at TU Dresden and one as a joint appointment with the UFZ.

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.

Collaboration
In the strategic area of activity COLLABORATION, TU Dresden pursues the goal of deepening its regional and international research networks and facilitating new collaborations.
Further Development of DRESDEN-concept
The DRESDEN-concept Science and Innovation Campus measure aims to further develop the alliance's close cooperation institutionally as well. Under the DRESDEN-concept, this should increasingly create structures that will further increase the visibility of Dresden as a research location and further improve the framework conditions for local scientists. The main focus is on shared infrastructures and independent junior research groups. Moreover, DRESDEN-concept institutions provide incentives for interdisciplinary and inter-organizational research, and the transfer of knowledge into society is also taken into account. Monitoring measures are intended to record and analyze the alliance's outcomes (business intelligence) and communicate their strength based on data.
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.

Expansion of International Collaborations
The internationalization of TU Dresden is to be advanced further in order to enable scientifically synergetic collaborations that have an impact on studying and teaching as well as on transfer. To this end, strategic partnerships are to be expanded both at the central level and at that of the Schools. Funding programs which enable all status groups at TUD to participate in internationalization will be implemented. One goal is for internationality to be reflected in the culture of the University and in the self-image of all University members. Success is made visible, among other things, through joint activities with strategic partners, increased international activities of all University members, and the visibility of internationality: on campus, in research and teaching, in communication and organization.

Impact
In the strategic area of activity IMPACT, TU Dresden pursues the goal of further strengthening the impact of TU Dresden in the academic communities nationally and internationally as well as in the economy and society. As a social protagonist, TU Dresden strives to contribute to public discourse and to improve the living environment of the region's inhabitants.
Strengthening the Innovation Chain
This undertaking is intended to bring together the TUD Transfer Office and also the TUD-related activities of the dresden|exists start-up service under the umbrella of a Centre for Transfer and Entrepreneurship (CTE), and to supplement them with further transfer-supporting measures. The aim is to leverage synergies and improve the services on offer for corporate partners, start-ups and the University members themselves. The new measures include the establishment of innovation managers who support researchers at an early stage in aligning their projects to a later entrepreneurial application, and who are at the same time contact persons for industry regarding the use of research results. There are also plans to introduce entrepreneurial training sessions in degree programs and doctoral studies. This project has already started with filling the executive position and with the analysis of today’s service processes. The next step will be to structure the new services and processes.

TUD is dedicated to creating spaces for a dialogue-oriented exchange of knowledge with civil society. TUD in Dialog is the measure that will pursue these issues and stimuli. Society’s empirical knowledge and regional contexts form a platform on which scientists can exert an effect in a responsible manner. This two-way exchange promotes an orientation that creates transparency, and is generally met with great interest, as evidenced by the Future Labs and DRESDEN-concept initiatives of the past. As an umbrella brand, this measure can provide access to innovative research work in the region, create interdisciplinary interaction, offer participation for new target groups and stimulate an inter-discursive exchange of knowledge. Participation, limited requirements for taking part and the use of existing infrastructure are key to the appeal of this concept.
TU Dresden will be celebrating its bicentennial on May 1, 2028. The following year (until September 2029) will offer a welcome opportunity to emphasize the importance of TU Dresden in the minds of all who have a connection to the university. Featuring a broad program of festivities that will focus on one of the 17 faculties each month, TU Dresden will be inviting internal and external target audiences to visit the campus and will also showcase its activities at numerous events worldwide. The program includes around 1,200 individual events designed to boost the profile of TU Dresden on the international stage and forge noticeably closer networks with stakeholders from the worlds of politics, business, media, society, and the scientific community.

Spirit
In the strategic area of activity SPIRIT, TU Dresden pursues the goal of further developing its university culture. This culture is characterized by diversity, transparency, appreciation, participation and honesty while facilitating innovation and top performance in the light of this set of values. In addition, TU Dresden aims to strengthen the university's willingness and ability to engage in critical self-reflection, proactive transformation, and the assumption of responsibility at all levels to become a successful learning organization.
Internal Participation and Communication
Internal communication is to be modernized and professionalized as a contemporary, low-barrier and bilingual communication across all internal channels. To this end, a well-structured intranet adapted to the current needs of employees is to be developed, which represents the heart of internal communication. The intranet is meant to be the central platform for information, knowledge and sharing, where information and assistance relevant to employees is made available in a transparent and clear manner. This improves and accelerates the flow of information between employees. It is designed to bundle internal resources of knowledge and make accumulated knowledge readily available. Processes are also simplified, as all departments have access to a common information base.
