Digital twins, smart scheduling, real-time streaming, and learning formats to combat women’s poverty

The winners of the TUM Future Learning Initiative 2025

“To really boost promising projects related to study and teaching at our university” – that’s how TUM President Thomas F. Hofmann described the mission of the TUM Future Learning Initiative 2025. Dozens of proposals were submitted, and four projects particularly impressed the jury. They focus on AI-based solutions for exam preparation and study organization, automatic recording of lectures, and combating poverty among women in old age starting already during their studies.

The use of AI in lectures and exercises

Using AI tools to shape the future of higher education teaching

AI-supported teaching methods are becoming increasingly common in lectures and tutorials. During the visit by Bavarian Minister of Science Markus Blume to the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the focus was on various tools developed at Bavarian universities. In addition, the initial results of the research project “AIffectiveness in Education” were presented. Using OneTutor, an AI tutor software developed at TUM, the project investigates how effectively AI systems can support learning.

OneTutor startup supports students with AI-powered chat and quizzes

Successful study with AI

Asking for clarification during lectures and getting precise answers within seconds or being quizzed on the material on the go with questions tailored to individual needs: this is made possible by the startup OneTutor, established at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The digital study tool is already being used at 30 universities. In a pilot phase, students made intensive use of OneTutor and achieved better exam results than their fellow students who did not use the system.

E-learning project in the TUM Ideas Competition 2025/26

How a platform is transforming mathematics education

Mathematics is part of everyday study life for almost all TUM students – they take around 30,000 math exams each year. A new e-learning platform is set to make learning easier in the future. The project is funded through the 2025/26 Ideas Competition, with which TUM supports innovative teaching formats. In this interview, project leader Dr. Florian Lindemann from the Department of Mathematics explains the idea behind the platform.

Construction through human-machine teamwork

Climate-optimized construction with robots

A straight wall is not necessarily a climate-optimized wall. Depending on the wall’s exposure to sun and shade, there is an ideal angle for individual bricks. The calculations come from a digital design configurator – and in the future, a robot will help craftsmen to position the bricks precisely. In a workshop with apprentice bricklayers, this human-machine cooperation in construction has been tested under real-world conditions by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Munich-Ebersberg Construction Guild.
