About ZEIT lab
(Zentrales Elektronik- und Informationstechnologielabor)
ZEITlab's mission is to enable proof-of-concept demonstrators in the field of Electronics and Sensors that are based on state-of-the-art materials and components, innovative technologies for processing and characterization, and supported by circuitry, design, testing and modeling.
ZEITlab is a maker-space for microelectronics prototypes, and THE technology hub for the new TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology (CIT). It brings together Neuro/Bio, Chemistry, Nanostructuring, Microelectronics, Measurement Technology, Integrated Circuit Packaging and prototyping in a joint laboratory network.
What makes it special?
- A user-run, hybrid technology lab at the CIT
- Easy access for visiting scholars and start-ups
- Hands-on training for students
- Fees based on user's ability to pay
- Fast track from idea to production process and prototype
ZEITlab aims to complement TUM's central scientific institutions, such as the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials (ZNN), the Walter Schottky Institute (WSI), and the newly established Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE).

Teaching
A key element of ZEITlab is the training of students, doctoral candidates and junior scientists. This involves incorporating hands-on, research-based project work and internships at the bachelor's and master's level. Easy access to laboratories and adaptable equipment make academic training an integral part of this research facility.
