DRESDEN-concept

One of Dresden's USPs as a business location is its well-honed interdisciplinary knowledge transfer and facility management in the field of research. DRESDEN-concept offers an alliance that is unrivalled in Germany between the university and the four major non-university research institutions.

The overriding aim of DRESDEN-concept is to create synergies between Dresden University of Technology and the Fraunhofer, Leibniz, Max-Planck and Helmholtz associations.

Their close links extend to the fields of research, education, infrastructure and administration. The following projects are examples of how this works in practice:

Dresden Genome Center

The Synergetic University

DRESDEN-concept is a key element of Dresden University of Technology's Institutional Strategy 'The Synergetic University.' Part of the initiative for excellence, it offers an outstanding opportunity to further increase the visibility of Dresden as a location for science and culture both nationally and internationally.
