DLGS Selection Process

DLGS has a centralised application process: all applications are received through the online application portal. In the first step, they are evaluated against the eligibility criteria and then forwarded further for evaluation by the Management Board. In addition to the selection criteria (relevance, scientific soundness, innovativeness, feasibility), key balancing criteria (gender, academic discipline, geography) are also considered. Selected applicants are invited to online interviews. All offers are contingent upon acceptance by the respective faculty at TU Dresden.

Our selection of fellows focuses on fostering coherence, complementarity, and synergies within each cohort and across previous ones. This approach helps us build a vibrant community of young researchers who are collectively engaged in the production and co-creation of knowledge.
