The EU and the Free State of Saxony are investing approximately 101 million euros in the project.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Kretschmer, Minister President of the Free State of Saxony: \u201cMany of the challenges of our time can only be overcome with excellent research and strong partnerships. That is why we are creating the best possible conditions for our scientists to work and advance their research, so that they can collaborate in Dresden on the digital solutions of the future. Together with the European Union, we are making this modern new building a reality. This strengthens Saxony as a hub for science and creates opportunities for future generations of researchers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Ursula M. Staudinger, President of TUD: \u201cThe successful advancement of Digital Sciences at TUD plays a crucial role in our innovation and competitiveness. We thank the EU and the Free State of Saxony, which are investing not only in a building but also in talent, cutting-edge research, and the ability to translate scientific findings into societal benefits. With TUD as a university of excellence, a national center for high-performance computing, and a center of expertise for artificial intelligence\u2014as well as the scientific driving force behind Europe\u2019s largest semiconductor hub here in Dresden\u2014this research building fits seamlessly into a high-performance environment for interdisciplinary digital sciences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With this new building, TUD gains modern office space, seminar and meeting rooms, and high-quality laboratories and workshops. The open building structure, featuring five floors, a central lecture hall, two foyers, and flexible meeting and project spaces, offers room for scientific exchange, knowledge transfer, and public events. Conferences, workshops, exhibitions, and demonstrators can make research visible and tangible here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\">Related Links<\/h4>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tu-dresden.de\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tu-dresden.de<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Photo: Andr\u00e9 Wirsig<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 26, 2026.
