  • We published within the Dresdner Universitätsjour­nals about our new Technology-Portal-Box. You can find the online-article here (PDF).
  • Together with the Media Centre of TU Dresden we have finished the development of the Technology-Portal-Box By using a TP-Box, entries in the database of the Technology Portal can also be provided autmatically and synchronized within the webpages of TU Dresden. Changes in the DTP can so be shown at the same time in the TP-Box. As a result the provided information in both systems is always identical and time-consuming double data administration is unnecessary.

Example for a Technology-Portal-Box in edit mode

  • We introduced tags as keywords for instruments and services. Within the overwiew of our partners instruments and services you can also use them as an extra filter.

March

  • A First in the German Research Landscape - An internal partnership under civil law between TU Dresden and the Max Planck Institute enables the use of research synergies.
