TUM and TU Dresden launch next generation of mobile communications
Transfer hub “6G-life²” enters the next funding phase
With the start of the second funding phase of the "6G-life²" project, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Dresden University of Technology (TUD) are strengthening their leading roles in the development of future communication technologies. Interdisciplinary teams are developing concepts and technical solutions for the sixth generation of mobile communications, expected to launch commercially in 2030. The current project phase of the "6G-life²" transfer hub runs until December 2029.
Direct analysis of urine delivers antibiotic resistance results up to 24 hours earlier
New method accelerates resistance testing in urinary tract infections
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for diagnosing urinary tract infections that significantly accelerates antibiotic resistance testing in urine. Because the procedure does not require labor-intensive pre-cultivation of bacteria – as is standard practice – results on antibiotic effectiveness are available one day earlier. Conventional laboratory analyses require two to three days. The new approach provides the foundation for a home-use rapid test.
Giesecke+Devrient becomes platinum partner of TUM Venture Labs
Support for start-ups in the field of cybersecurity
The security tech company Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) will in future support start-ups and research teams from the ecosystem of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and UnternehmerTUM. As a platinum partner of TUM Venture Labs, G+D will accompany start-up teams in the fields of security technology, post-quantum cryptography, and artificial intelligence over a period of five years.
Start-up Hula Earth is growing
Monitoring biodiversity in the long term
Using satellite data and bird calls to determine biodiversity: that was the idea behind the launch of start-up Hula Earth two years ago. Today more than 80 small high-tech boxes are installed in the outdoors, constantly collecting data and transmitting it to the company headquarters. Project developers for moorland restoration, solar parks and nature conservation associations are already using the service.
Three generations of the TUM Student Club in conversation
“Anything that carries the WARR name has turned out well.”
Broadening horizons, advancing technology, and finding a community of like-minded people – that’s not rocket science. Yet, sometimes it is. At a ceremony honoring TUM alumni, former and current members of the Scientific Workgroup for Rocketry and Spaceflight (WARR) share how their work in the TUM Student Club has shaped and influenced them and their careers.
