Dresden

Dresden is the capital and with about half a million inhabitants one of the major cities of Saxony, a federal state of Germany. Dresden is situated between Berlin and Prague just north of the border between Germany and the Czech Republic, in the valley of the Elbe river. Dresden is famous for its cultural and architectural wealth, much of which was reconstructed only recently after near-total destruction during World War II. Dresden's location adjacent to picturesque countrysides also attracts many visitors.

Hosting Institution

The Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) has its roots in the Royal Saxon Technical School that was founded in 1828. Today it is a university that unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities and social sciences, as well as medicine. This wide range of disciplines, which is unique in Germany, brings with it the obligation for the university to promote interdisciplinarity and to contribute to the integration of science and society.

Excellence is born of the conjunction between outstanding research and passionate teaching. All disciplines represented at the university, have a foundation of expertise, initiative spirit, creative curiosity, commitment, communication and the ability to cope with criticism.
