Research and commercial cooperations

TUM promotes both basic research, aimed at furthering scientific knowledge and insights in general, and applied research, focused on concrete solutions to defined problems.

Both research strands are mutually complementary in creating new knowledge and shaping the transfer of knowledge and technology into society through collaboration with industry partners. As part of this forcefield, TUM activates the innovation potential of our society.

Transparent rules

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.
