Dresden as a science hub: PTS is part of it
By participating in the DRESDEN-concept initiative, PTS promotes and strengthens cooperation between regional partner institutions in order to identify and utilize synergies in research and teaching as well as infrastructure and administration.
By networking across institutional and subject boundaries, DRESDEN-concept offers PTS researchers an ideal location for science and innovation. Short distances between the partners, the sustainable use of infrastructures within the alliance and the establishment of joint research priorities make Dresden an outstanding science location in which PTS plays an active role.
