The TUM School of Computation, Information, and Technology (CIT) stands for International Research and Teaching. It has also identified internationalization as an essential component in all other areas. Therefore, we promote activities that encourage international exchange and intensify our global partnerships. We want to be a place of international encounter and cordially invite all interested parties to join us.

To implement internationalization and TUM's guiding principle of being a global knowledge exchange center, we support CIT researchers and employees in their international activities in various ways: 

  • By collecting and bundling CIT's international topics, we create synergies and build on them. This relates to both concepts and collaborations.
  • We support our researchers and employees in applying for TUM-internal internationalization funds and public grants.
  • It is also important to us to integrate our international researchers and employees into the CIT family with internal networking events.
