TUD | The Collaborative University
inventive. transformative. engaged.
TUD is diverse and international, excellent in research, innovative in teaching, and socially engaged. Our claim stands at the center of this: Creating transformative innovation together – expanding the boundaries of knowledge and thus making real change possible. This mindset defines our actions and the values we live by.
Everything we do and strive for is geared towards creating a positive impact and a better future. As a societal stakeholder, we significantly contribute to public discourse and to improving the living environment of people in the region. This is intrinsically linked to our mission to offer our students an academic education that enables them to shape future changes both responsibly and effectively. Creating and imparting knowledge for life is just as important to us as our commitment to diversity and democracy.
You can see how this is reflected in our research, our teaching, and our actions in the examples mentioned below. These values are intertwined with our work: when we collaborate to bring about innovations, engage with innovative ideas that benefit society, and help shape social transformation through excellent research.
