About the Program

The Eleonore Trefftz Program at TU Dresden makes temporary stays possible for visiting women scientists who represent their subject in teaching and research at a respective faculty. Female professors, junior professors and junior researchers who are at least at an advanced stage of their postdoc can hold visiting professorships for 3 to 12 months researching and teaching.

The program serves to promote careers for women on their path to a professorship. Visiting professors also act as role models for female students and young female researchers from those subjects which have currently few or no women professors, encouraging them to choose an academic career.

Application deadlines: 15 April 2023 (for stays starting from 1 January 2024) / 15 October 2023

The program is named after Eleonore Trefftz (1920-2017), who studied Mathematics and Physics at TU Dresden between 1941 and 1945, then also lectured here, before becoming a member of the Max Planck Gesellschaft in 1971 - succeeding Margot Becke-Goehring, who had been the first woman in this position.
