TUM. An international university

Winning the world's best brains. Forging alliances with leading universities and companies. Maintaining the alumni network. These are the goals the TUM has set for itself as an internationally competitive university. It is not one’s origin that counts at TUM, but rather talent and passion for science.

"Broadening the horizon"

Prof. Liqiu Meng, Senior Vice President for International Alliances and Alumni: "Each and every person who is or was active at TUM is a multiplier for our excellence and reputation. Students from abroad and visiting scientists bring with them other thought patterns, learning concepts, and perceptions that may complement or contrast with our world, which in any case enrich our world in the sense of living our internationality."

Research

TUM sees itself as the handmaiden of innovation society. In international projects, it seeks answers to the pressing issues of our time. For example:

Electric-taxis for the tropics: the TUM Research Campus in Singapore CREATE plans to sustainably reduce CO2 emissions in tropical mega-cities with electric taxis. More
Green technologies: solar and wind energy and energy-efficient construction. In the project “GreenTech”, young researchers at the four EuroTech-Universities intend to develop innovative approaches to renewable energy.
Forests in the Desert: In just seven years, in the desert of Egypt, forests reaching up to 15 meters have been grown – in an area ten times as large as Munich's English Garden. The idea: pre-clean waste water from the Nile Delta and grow trees in the Sahara with it. This has a positive effect on the climate and, at the same time, is easy on the water of the largest river in Africa. More

ESA’s GOCE satellite: The research satellite has been orbiting the Earth since 2009, mapping the gravity of the planet with unprecedented precision. Its data helps us to better understand the world. TUM is significantly involved in this project. More
