This is us!
Leonardo-Sachsen, as an institution of TU Dresden, is the central point of contact for students and staff of the Saxon Erasmus+ University Consortium for internships abroad and international practical experience.
Leonardo-Saxony
As a team that now includes staff from five nations, Leonardo-Sachsen has grown to become the central contact point for students and universities in the Free State of Saxony regarding internships abroad and staff mobility. Since our foundation, we have promoted and supported international mobility, enabling students to gain valuable practical experience abroad.
Our goal is to strengthen international skills, broaden horizons, and sustainably promote careers. We provide individual guidance to students in planning, organizing, and financing internships abroad—regardless of their field of study or destination country. Through programmes such as ERASMUS+ and other funding opportunities, we also support staff from their initial idea for an international experience to their successful return. Companies that wish to host international interns also receive expert support and advice from us.
As an experienced and dedicated team, we cooperate with universities, companies, and international partners to offer practical, unbureaucratic, and tailored solutions. Our services include personal counselling, information events, assistance with application processes, and the facilitation of contacts abroad. With our commitment, we aim to inspire students and staff to take the step abroad and thus enrich their personal and professional development—true to our motto: From Saxony to the world.
