TUM honors five Research Alumni

TUM Ambassadors 2024
On December 1, 2024, TUM President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann presented five TUM research alumni with the TUM Ambassador certificate of honor in front of circa 2,000 guests at the annual TUM Advent Concert at the Isarphilharmonie in Munich.
Every year, TUM welcomes scientists from all over the world who come to our institutes and research facilities for shorter or longer periods of time. Together with TUM professors, they work and research on groundbreaking projects for the future.

Once a year, the President awards the honorary title of “TUM Ambassador” to those who have particularly enriched TUM with their scientific expertise and international experience during their stay.
