Excellence - A matter close to our hearts

Excellence? Elitism? Opportunity or risk? The Excellence Programme, initially launched in 2005 by the German government has aroused passionate debate right from the start and still has the potential to polarise opinion.

TU Dresden (TUD) looks at it this way: excellence is all about performance and having the right attitude.

For everyone here at TU Dresden - one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany since it is also a matter very close to our hearts.

Firstly because of the extra motivation and impetus generated, and secondly, because of the way we handle this role.

Our vision for the future can be summed up as follows: "Let us become one of the leading centres for research and teaching, with our own individual character and a special talent for networking, able to attract the best minds in Germany and from further afield." After all, it is a well-known fact that excellence in research and teaching presupposes excellent conditions.

Or, to put it figuratively, for excellent crop yields, you need the right soil and weather.

TU Dresden is a comprehensive university with 18 faculties and works in close collaboration with its top performers: three Clusters of Excellence, including the "Centre for Tactile Internet" (CeTI), the Cluster "Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter" ) and the Cluster "Physics of Life" (PoL).

The guiding principle here is that strong individual elements become even stronger when they work together.

The vision for the future takes this principle beyond the confines of the university: with the research network DRESDEN-concept (
Dresden
Research and
Education
Synergies for the
Development of
Excellence and
Novelty), TU Dresden has been creating an alliance of research and cultural facilities in the city, an "excellent playground for excellent people".

This bond is unique in Germany and has evolved over many y
