New research results or upcoming events: Stay up-to-date on what is happening at TUM.
On Friday the Technical University of Munich (TUM) celebrated the topping-out ceremony for a new teaching and research building for Sustainable Chemistry at the TUM Campus Straubing. Sustainability and resource efficiency will be researched and taught in the new building, but are also reflected in its construction.
The open-source software of the two former Technical University of Munich (TUM) scientists Florian Kohlmayer and Andreas Lehmann, enables researchers to integrate a range of different medical data points for a patient, securely store and easily retrieve them. In 2016, this led to the Bitcare start-up.
The Amazon rainforest stores large amounts of the climate-damaging greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. However, deforestation, agricultural expansion and rising temperatures are pushing the storage capacities of the tropical forest to a limit. It is unclear how long the forest will remain a carbon sink. An international team is working together with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) to answer this question.
It has been 10 years since the Technical University of Munich (TUM) launched the TUMonline integrated campus management system. In the latest report by the German federal government's Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation, TUMonline has now been highlighted as a best practice example. In this interview Dr. Hans Pongratz, the Senior Vice President for IT Systems and Services (CIO) at TUM, explains why the digitalization of processes at third-level educational institutions is an ongoing process and how blockchain technology will be used to make certificates forgery-proof.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, will take part in European Union Week at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) on May 6th. After his talk he will take questions from the audience.
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has won new partners through its Africa Initiative. It will cooperate in upcoming medical technology projects with Ethiopia’s Tegbareid Polytechnic College (T-PTC) and GIZ, the German development agency promoting international cooperation. The agreement was signed on Monday during a meeting between the Ethiopian Prime Minister and Bavaria’s Minister-President in Addis Ababa.
The leadership of Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Central European University (CEU) met for two days in Munich to discuss intensively about creating a long-term cooperation framework in the joint areas of politics, technology and society. Collaborative activities shall include new faculty appointments, study programs, joint research, and training professionals for the future.
Like humans and animals, plants defend themselves against pathogens with the help of their immune system. But how do they activate their cellular defenses? Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that receptors in plant cells identify bacteria through simple molecular building blocks.
In the near future we may see electric vertical take-off aircraft taking passengers to their destinations as aerial taxis high above traffic jams. But the flight system controls for these aircraft still represent a major challenge. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have applied their enormous expertise in this area to develop a control technology which is now being used in the prototype V600 from AutoFlightX.
Shortly before the curtain drops on the hit HBO show “Game of Thrones” (GoT), students attending a computer science seminar at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) embarked on an unusual scientific mission: predicting which character has the best chance to sit the coveted Iron Throne.
