Music connects people across all language barriers: As a special highlight, the TUM’s annual concerts – performed by the “Symphonisches Ensemble München”, directed by Felix Mayer and including soloists from among the TUM family – takes place in the Philharmonic Hall. The event, which is held under the motto “Scientiis et Artibus”, is also sponsored by the Freunde der TUM.

An exclusive glimpse behind the scenes: The summer events at TUM

Each year in July, the member of the TUM Association of Alumni and Friends is invited to visit a department or another institution of TUM. There, professors and outstanding young researchers present them their research projects in exciting lectures and interesting guided tours, followed by an opportunity for “questions and answers” together with a small snack.

Expert reports: “Forschung live”

In the course of the annual meeting, a TUM researcher will hold a special lecture for the members of the TUM Association of Alumni and Friends, providing insight into outstanding university research as well as surprising details about innovative projects.

In addition to a certificate, the jubilarians are awarded a golden needle for 50 years of membership or a silver needle for 40 years of membership.
