Research Enabling Change

Exploring the origins of the universe and the foundations of life, seeking solutions to the major challenges of our time – from students to Nobel Prize laureates, our university community creates inspiration, new knowledge and innovation.

Following our guiding principle of "Human-centered Engineering", we align the development of technical solutions towards the functionality for people, the values and needs of society, and the requirements of a sustainable future. Our innovation-supportive matrix structure of TUM Schools and mission-driven Integrative Research Institutes creates an operatively agile and scientifically inspiring environment for interdisciplinary collaboration across TUM and beyond.

New solutions for the industry of the future

Our researchers are responsible for two long-term projects, the "KI.FABRIK" and the "German-French Academy for the Industry of the Future" (GFA), in which they are shaping the future working world, together with international partners from industry and research.
