20 years of excellence

Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Nutritional Medicine celebrates anniversary

Nutrition plays a crucial role for human health. Yet, there still is a lack of fundamental knowledge why people develop metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cancer. The Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) bridges the gap between nutritional science and clinical medicine. On July 17th, past and current leaders of EKFZ celebrate its 20th anniversary with invited guests to share their vision for the future of nutritional medicine.

3D-Printed nesting façade benefits people and wildlife

A nesting façade developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) provides habitat for sparrows, black redstarts, and hedgehogs — while also helping to regulate indoor temperatures for humans. The façade elements were produced using a 3D printer and are made from locally sourced and partially recycled materials. A segment on München.TV showcases the prototype, recently installed at the “Südpolstation,” a children’s and youth center operated by Feierwerk e.V. in Munich.

Adaptation to climate change

The race for water

Heat, dry periods, torrential downpours, melting glaciers—in the Alps, climate change is already very clear to see. High time to adapt, warn TUM researchers. A matter for all disciplines.

European Research Council funds Proofs of Concepts

Six ERC Grants for TUM researchers

The European Research Council (ERC) supports scientists, who want to develop marketable innovations based on their research results, with Proof of Concept Grants. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where technology transfer plays a particularly important role, have now been awarded six of these grants. Funding will be allocated to projects in the fields of cloud computing, robotics, cancer medicine, drug development and astrophysics.

Classification system for robot fitness

TUM creates seal of approval for robotics

When autonomous robots interact with humans and perform tasks independently, their sensitivity is crucial. This is what makes them safe and flexible. However, there is currently no standardized procedure for determining this sensitivity and thus individual robots’ fitness for physical interactions. Researchers at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed an evaluation scheme that can be used to compare industrial robots and, in the future, other systems such as mobile and humanoid robots or robotic hands.

TUM Center for Structural and Functional Connectomics

New center for brain research on the Garching campus

A new connectomics research center will be established on the TUM campus in Garching, which will focus on the comprehensive mapping and analysis of all neuronal connections in the brain. At the Center for Structural and Functional Connectomics (CSFC) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), researchers from various disciplines will collaborate in such areas as state-of-the-art imaging technologies. The Joint Science Conference (GWK) has approved funding of around 69 million euros.
