. We also recommend that young researchers contact the Graduate Academy which is the central service point for PhD students and Postdocs at TU Dresden. Membership at the Graduate Academy is free of charge and open to all PhD students who have been accepted by one of TU Dresden’s faculties as a Doctoral Candidate and to Postdocs holding a work contract with TU Dresden. To its members, Graduate Academy offers a wide range of qualification seminars and workshops as well as funding programs such as short-term fellowships and mobility grants. Furthermore, consultations, i.e. on funding opportunities, are offered to all young researchers independently of a GA membership.
