In the current Times Higher Education Ranking, TUM is ranked as the best university in the EU – particularly in industry, innovation and infrastructure.
This leading position is also reflected in MMK, which focuses on the concept of Industry meets Academia every year. Where academic knowledge and economic practice come together, new ideas and effective collaborations emerge.
