TUM host Professor Volker Sieber:

„Gerhard Schenk is a brilliant scientist, a visionary and a great communicator. With his ability to bring together and engage the right people from all over the world to advance research and development he is a true ambassador for TUM, the bioeconomy and beyond.“

 

TUM Ambassador Professor Gerhard Schenk:

“From the moment I started collaborating with colleagues from TUM, in 2015, I was welcomed with open arms. My colleagues became my friends, and we since have developed several exciting projects that target major global issues such as the sustainable production of essential chemicals. It is highly rewarding that our collaborations have led to significant funding from both German and Australian sources.”
