Teaching Excellence Tracks

The aim of the Teaching Excellence Tracks (Teaching Excellence Tracks) program is to integrate content and processes of excellent research (e.g. from Clusters of Excellence, Collaborative Research Centers, DRESDEN-concept partner institutions or DFG-funded projects) in the form of elective modules in so-called Teaching Excellence Tracks into existing or newly established degree programs.
In this way, a research-oriented and interdisciplinary range of courses with attractive, internationally compatible teaching-learning formats is developed for students interested in cutting-edge research. These research-focused tracks integrate (digital) research infrastructures into teaching at TU Dresden.

The program is aimed at

• Students who aspire to an academic career and are interested in interdisciplinary research.
• Lecturers who offer these research-oriented courses in order to attract early-career researchers.

The Teaching Excellence Tracks (Teaching Excellence Tracks) are a completely new offering. They are developed individually and collaboratively; structures and content are tailored to the needs of the researchers. Concept ideas and suggestions are always welcome. The opportunities for participation are diverse; they range from the development and provision of research-oriented teaching-learning formats to the development of entire research-oriented modules, from dedicated committee work to the design of degree programmes to implement the Teaching Excellence Tracks.
