Research and Innovation
We conduct high-quality research to advance technology and solve the environmental, social, and industrial challenges of our world. Discover our research projects in engineering, and design.
In the spirit of effective knowledge and technology transfer, the TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) promotes intensive collaboration with the economy. Industry-specific networking with local SMEs, start-ups, German and international large companies enables application-oriented research and practice-oriented teaching.
& Design
Our School ED is unique in combining engineering and design. We integrate technical knowledge and creative working modes.
Through design, we aim to create visionary, strategic, and practical solutions for a future worth living. We want to make scientific research understandable and tangible for everyone.
We use various design methods in research, teaching, and hands-on applications. At TUM, design practice means thinking across disciplines, looking at complex challenges holistically, and fostering sustainable solutions that meet functional and aesthetic needs. Design focuses on the process itself, addressing both the challenge and the possible outcome. Our user-centered and inclusive approaches consider the social, ethical and environmental responsibilities we bear as an educational and research institution.
