The TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT) welcomes national and international guests every year.
Guests enrich university life at CIT and promote the mutual exchange and cooperation with other research groups. Our guests contribute to course offerings, joint research projects and publications. International perspectives and input help us further develop ourselves and face global challenges. They also enrich the further personal and professional development of our school’s entire community.
