Venue

The University of Applied Sciences Dresden (HTW Dresden), with around 4,800 students, is the second largest university in Dresden. Research and teaching at HTW Dresden are guided by three interdisciplinary profile lines: safeguarding natural resources, developing sustainable mobility and infrastructure, and shaping, connecting, and digitizing business and work. With its application-oriented research, the university is an important partner—particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises in Saxony—and is well connected to the many research centers that make up Dresden’s scientific landscape.

Dresden is the capital of the Free State of Saxony, with a population of over 550,000. Internationally, Dresden is renowned as a cultural city, home to numerous iconic landmarks such as the Baroque Zwinger, the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche), the Semper Opera House, and the Royal Palace. At the same time, it is also recognized as a major center of technology and science, with a total of nine universities and a very high concentration of research institutions.
