TUM Innovation Networks aim to foster innovative, high-risk, high-gain research projects spanning multiple disciplines. They are a central element of our institutional strategy, TUM Agenda 2030.
The teams who submitted the most promising project proposals to the Research Idea Inbox in September 2020 were invited to participate in a dedicated, project-specific two-day TUM Exploratory Workshop at TUM-IAS. During the two-day workshop, the project concept is developed further and finalized. Where necessary, further principal investigators can be included in the initial project team. The goal of the TUM Exploratory Workshop is to prepare for a 10-page concept paper reflecting the TUM-IAS motto „risking creativity“.
During November and December 2020 the following six TUM Exploratory Workshops will take place in a digital fomat:
