Pro­­gram­mes and Ac­­tivi­­ties

Besides its research objectives CeTI will also take care of societal aspects. Special efforts will be undertaken to support young talents, to boost equal opportunities, and to create socio-economic impact.

Career development and equal opportunities play an important role at CeTI. The CeTI Career Development and Equal Opportunities Plan is intended in particular to meet an obligation to provide information and communication, as well as the aspect of continuous, structured and sustainable support for young researchers. Furthermore, the mission statement of TU Dresden’s human resources development as well as its fields of action and measures of career development are taken into account.

Kids and Families

In order to advance the vision of democratising access to skills, not only research is of fundamental importance, but also science communication in the public sphere. CeTI attaches particular importance to the youngest junior researchers, who are introduced to the topic of “tactile internet” in a playful way through various programs. In this context, CeTI actively promotes young talent in the STEM field.

Schools and Students

We work actively with schools to take research findings out of our own CeTI laboratories and thus promote science communication beyond them. We have set ourselves the task and goal of promoting the next generation of pupils in the STEM field. Various interactive demonstrators are used to introduce the topic of “tactile internet”. For example, we offer various digital school modules that can be carried out in school classes.
