From 06 to 08 December 2022, the university elections will take place again, during which all students of the university can elect their new student council, senate, faculty council and other committees.

This year, unlike in previous years, the elections will again take place in presence. The FSR Transport election booth is located in front of the FSR office in the foyer in front of POT/13 and will be open on 06 and 07 December from 09:00 to 18:30 and on 08 December from 09:00 to 17:00.

There are 29 candidates for the next term of office for the Student Council for Transport Sciences “Friedrich List”. As every year, there will be a presentation of these candidates on our website, where all candidates will introduce themselves briefly and you will get a picture of the corresponding name. Furthermore, the candidates will provide you with hot drinks and biscuits during the opening hours of the election booth, where you can also get to know them personally.

You can also find more information about the elections on our general elections page.

2-hour intervals, no traffic at weekends, the last bus leaves at 7 pm. Public transport in rural areas has many disadvantages, but does that mean it doesn’t stand a chance against private transport? How should a good public transport system be structured in the countryside or what are your experiences with public transport in the countryside?

If you are interested and would like to join in the discussion, please come to the FSR discussion evening on 24.11. at 8:15 pm in POT 13. After a keynote speech, we will discuss these questions together. Nibbles will be provided, drinks can be purchased on site.

Next week, on Wednesday, November 23 and on Friday, November 25, there will be trial lectures for filling the professorship “Railway Track Engeneering” (successor to Prof. Fengler). All students of our faculty are cordially invited to listen to the lectures of the new lecturer applicants and to form their own opinion.

The lectures will take place in room POT/168 (Drawing Room) and will also be hybrid broadcast. Please note that the last lecture (applicant 7 on Friday at 13:30) will be held differently in POT/106!

All info, the exact times, applicants and the links to the video conferences can be found here:

You have voted diligently – and we have evaluated: on Faculty Day on 11.11., the first Teaching Award of the Faculty of Transport Sciences will be presented.

The prize of 250€ is awarded to lecturers for particularly good teaching. There are two courses and persons per year that can be awarded: one of the basic teaching (Dipl. Grundstudium and Bachelor’s degree programmes) and one of the advanced teaching (Dipl. Hauptstudium and Master’s degree programmes).

Are you already curious about who will receive the prize? Then come to the Faculty Day on Friday from 14:00 in POT/81. We are looking forward to many visitors!

And don’t worry if your favourite candidate is not among them: next year there will be another teaching award, which will be given to a different person 😉

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL) at TU-Dresden is once again looking for the cources with the best e-learning. As every year, various events from different faculties were submitted. Every TUD member with an OPAL account can vote here:

From our faculty, only Steffen Dutsch has lined up this year with his teaching offer.

We would be pleased if many people from our faculty would also participate in order to set an example for good teaching with sensible use of media!

The BuFaTa Verkehr is a meeting of transport-related student councils from all over Germany. In the last few years, Corona and co. have caused the BuFaTa to fall asleep, but this year we have revived it and brought it to Dresden: from 3-6 November, student representatives from all over Germany will meet here to exchange and vote on professional and university-political standpoints and positions. This BuFaTa will also clarify the further course of events for the coming years.

This gives us the chance to get input from other universities/study programmes and to network better with other universities in order to be able to respond better to changing study conditions in the future.
