Together we want to achieve excellence - motivated students and highly qualified graduates of TU Dresden. Innovative teaching and examination formats in digital or analog practice are central components of this. The Society of Friends and Supporters of the TUD Dresden University of Technology e. V. will once again honor the particularly committed commitment to teaching at the TUD in education and training with the Teaching Award(s).

The total amount of prize money to be awarded is 20,000 euros. Potentially, offers from every faculty and the Central Units with study programs have the chance to receive a teaching award - the prerequisite for this is the submission of corresponding applications.

Teaching and learning concepts from the 2023/2024 academic year whose conception and/or implementation involve non-university learning locations are to be honored. Suitable topics may include democracy, climate or social cohesion.

We are looking for formats that

• make specific use of non-university learning locations to convey topics or
• question non-university learning locations in terms of their usability in teaching or
• design or help to design non-university learning venues - or
• use non-university learning locations specifically as a field of practice in order to expand skills or engage with social discourses - or
• involve non-university research and cultural institutions of the DD-concept partners in practice-oriented teaching.

All teaching formats in which the teaching content is creatively prepared and implemented using non-university learning locations are eligible for the award.

Proposals can be submitted using the following form by 31.08.2024
