!! Complaint Office in cases of discrimination harassment, violence !!

At TU Dresden, we foster respectful and appreciative interaction with one another in a variety of ways on a daily basis. Consequently, TU Dresden condemns any form of (sexualized) harassment, discrimination and violence. For this reason, the complaints office was founded.
