DRESDEN-concept
Science and Innovation Campus

The “TUD Young Investigator” status strengthens excellent, independent junior research group leaders by fostering their integration into the faculties of TUD Dresden University of Technology and offering a qualification program FAST FORWARD tailored to their particular needs.

TUD Young Investigators are allowed to review doctoral theses and participate in various activities within the faculty, including teaching.

TUD Young Investigators can become independent junior research group leaders with fixed-term contracts with the TUD or a partner institution of  DRESDEN-concept.
The TUD Young Investigators who are also junior research group leaders at a DRESDEN-concept partner institution are listed here (as of December 16, 2024).
