What drives us: President Thomas F. Hofmann about TUM

Research and innovations for society, innovative teaching and continuing education: This is how we shape a sustainable future, relying on the intelligence of the entire university and working closely with global partners to do so.

Understanding the essential foundations of life

We explore which fundamental forces and mechanisms shaped the universe and how its galaxies, stars and planets developed - and how life originated.

Maintaining health and targeting diseases

How will we treat serious illnesses in the future and how can we make reliable diagnoses more quickly? We address these questions with the latest technologies and methods.

Shaping a sustainable living environment

We combine all our expertise to slow down climate change and create sustainable places to live and work.

Creating new materials and manufacturing technologies

High-precision sensors on a quantum basis and new systems for storing energy - we develop digital manufacturing technologies and sustainable process engineering.

Pioneering digital transformation for a secure future

We develop secure digital technologies that make life and work easier. Our goal is to find solutions to questions of digital change and to constantly drive them forward.

Responsible research and innovation in service of society

The technological progress that we help to shape should benefit people and society in the sense of "human-centered engineering".
