1 European Project Center (EPC)
Introduction of Technische Universität Dresden / Germany Grant Applicant of TEMPUS SCM “MOBIL” Matthias Winker First of all I would like to welcome you in the name of TU Dresden. As you know, these weeks in september – at the end of school-holidays - and the begin of the winter-term still far away – are weeks of travelling, either for holidays or for conferences. So our Rector Prof. Kokenge and most of our prorectors/vicepresidents are not in dresden. So it’s my job to give you a picture/ an idea of TU Dresden.

2 Expansion of the European Union in 2004
Dresden, Germany European Union as of 2003 Our motto is “Building Bridges” / Wissen schaft Brücken – not only between science and economy between students of different nations between different sybjects but between East and West too. First years students from Central and EastEurope jumped over Dresden to Paris, Landon or into the US. Dresden, the former socialist Bother, was not so interesting. Now, the polish students are Kick-off Meeting MOBIL chart 2 Matthias Winker

3 Dresden University of Technology
World Cultural Heritage 2004 Dresden University of Technology Dresden Source At the beginning I would like to apologize about / for (?) my awful, awful English. But belonging to the administration-staff of our university, I am one of those poor fellows, who are not in the most comfortable and lucky situation that our researcher and professors enjoy: travelling throughout the world, giving a lecture in Shanghai today, visiting a workshop in Boston tomorrow, participating in a congress in Rio the next day and coming home to Dresden at the end of the week to rest and to recreate here in the lovely/charming scenery of the Elbe-Valley, which is since 2004 – you might know – decorated and protected as part of the World Cultural Heritage. Meantime the Heritage Council threatens to remove the Dredsen Elbe-Valley and put it on the socalled red list, the Heritag in Danger List. Instead of that my part is to stay at Dresden and – at home – to work and to insure, that our professors can travel worldwide. Therefore my English is – frankly spoken – rather "German English". But I'll try to give my best, and I hope, you understand – or better said: you can guess – the "essence", the real message of my words: That is in brief: I would like to welcome you all in the name of Technische Universität Dresden!

18 Development of students ... from foreign countries
Now I want to present you some charts showing the benchmark for the key figures of the large Universities in Germany As you know in Germany the Federal Ministry has started the socalled „Contest of Excellence“. And in these days universities in Germany are very, very busy at completing and filing their applications and profile-descriptions for this nationwide competition for universities to become or to remain a “Spitzenuniversität”. As you can imagine and I hope you agree: TUD is one of the candidates! So during the last weeks we collected the related figures from other large universities, and we tried to make them comparable. Because after reunification TU Dresden like other universities in the eastern Part of germany had a period of rebuilding, reorientation, reconceptualisation. To make the figures comparable we took the result of 1994 as 100. Kick-off Meeting MOBIL chart 18 Matthias Winker
