TUM promotes both basic research, aimed at furthering scientific knowledge and insights in general, and applied research, focused on concrete solutions to defined problems. These mutually complementary research strands both shape the transfer of knowledge and technology to society through collaboration with industry partners. Every year, TUM signs more than 1,000 research agreements with partners in both the scientific and business communities.
Setting standards: In order to ensure transparent contract negotiations, the contract research and cooperation models have been categorized and standardized under a binding set of rules and regulations with model agreement forms.
Building trust: Our research and commercial cooperations are built on ethically sound, professional relationships with our partners. A clearly defined code of conduct strengthens the trust of our partners and society in us.
Frequently used agreements for research and commercial cooperations are available from a secure download area. TUM employees can access this area with their MyTUM user ID. Templates and sample resources for third-party funding
