TUD takes responsibility for protecting democracy: Alliance from science and culture calls for major event

TUD Dresden University of Technology defines itself as a regionally anchored and globally oriented University of Excellence, which – especially being the largest employer in Dresden – assumes societal responsibility. „Science is part of society and therefore cannot be apolitical. As a public university, we are obliged to maintain party-political neutrality, but being neutral does not equate to remaining silent when fundamental values such as civil liberties, human dignity and the rule of law are at risk,“ said Prof. Ursula Staudinger, Rector of TUD, in a recent interview in the Sächsische Zeitung.
