Teaching & Quality Management

Jürgen Richter-Gebert, Professor of Geometry and Visualization, has received the most prestigious award for scientific communication – the Communicator Award 2021, bestowed by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft. This honor recognizes the TUM researcher’s many years of passionate work dedicated to sharing his love of mathematics with students, exhibition visitors and app users.

Mental health, online labs and a virtual forest: the field of contributions that have already been implemented through the ideas competition “Studienbezogene Verstärkung der Exzellenzstrategie” (study-related reinforcement of the excellence strategy) is wide. Now the next round starts, seeking concepts for digital and project-based forms of teaching, learning and examining.

The TUM Global Week from 5 to 9 July, 2021, is an important stimulus for international projects and collaborations. All members of the TUM family are invited to discuss global challenges in numerous information and networking events, to clarify practical questions about stays abroad, and to learn about new offers for international exchange.

How can we make our degree programs interdisciplinary? What new topics can we take up? In short: How can we become even better? These are the central questions of the student survey at TUM. Every two years, the university calls on its students to describe their own experiences and pass on their opinions.

Two innovative Technical University of Munich (TUM) teaching projects are to receive millions of euros in funding from Germany's "Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre" (Innovation in Higher Education Teaching). The hyteQ project will develop and implement modern hybrid teaching formats combining on-campus teaching with Educational Technology. The alliance project QUADIS will serve to intensify collaboration on university didactics among Bavarian universities.
