Scientific Events – TUM Senior Excellence Faculty

Various activities of the TUM Senior Excellence Faculty are reflected not only in their commitment to the development of TUM and the associated tasks, but also in a wide range of scientific events. It is here that the variety of interdisciplinary topics addressed by the TUM Emeriti of Excellence in symposia, lectures and other events becomes evident. Many of the events are organized in cooperation with other universities and research institutions and in collaboration with high-ranking national and international scientists, both internally and externally.
 

Overview of past Events

The TUM Forum Sustainability is an initiative of the TUM Senior Excellence Faculty since 2016 in cooperation with the Institute for Earth System Preservation IESP e.V. and the TUM Institute for Advanced Study. The aim of the initiative is to bring the topic of sustainability, from an interdisciplinary and scientific perspective, into greater public focus. In addition, decision-makers in business and politics are to be supported in their sustainable actions by providing concrete examples and recommendations for action. The majority of the scientific events arose from ideas  within the TUM Forum Sustainability.
