Academicus 2012:

The winners of the TUM ideas competition

Michael Hellwig, an employee at ProLehre – the department for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education – had the idea of a students’ publisher that distributes outstanding project papers, seminar papers and theses.

Michael Hoch, an employee at the Department of Business Administration – Controlling, suggested setting up bicycle service stations at various TUM locations. These service stations could provide compressors, adapters for different types of valves, tools and other needful things for a quick maintenance check-up.

Improvement of the learning situation in the libraries

Jun Chen, Sonja Kargl, Thomas Stauber, Maximilien Wübken are students of Economics and Computer Science. They suggested a "MyBib"-App that can provide smart phone users with information on the occupancy rate for every library and is able to offer suggestions for alternative libraries in close proximity.

Monika Ecker, a master's student in "TUM-BWL", is in favor of a parking disc system: Every library visitor will be given a parking disc when entering the library – to be set when he or she leaves the library. If the "parking period" is over before the visitor returns, the seat could be reassigned.
