Since the end of 2020, researchers from TUM and the two Indian Institutes of Technology in Bombay and Kharagpur have been jointly driving forward research in the highly topical fields of climate, environment, energy, mobility and transport as part of the partnership project Exploration. An Indo-German Partnership (IGP).
The TUM x IITB Research Forum 2022 offers especially young researchers a platform to share their new scientific findings with renowned experts, senior research fellows and other colleagues from the three participating institutes TUM, IIT Bombay and IIT Kharagpur:
Walking Together: Indo-German Dialogue on Common Risks and Shared Pathways to Sustainability
October 31 and November 3 & 4, 2022 on TUM Campus München / online
The TUM x IITB Research Forum in Munich will be hosted by Prof. Miranda Schreurs. The conference will focus on highlighting sustainable solutions in the areas of climate change, water disasters, energy transition, mobility and transportation.
The exchange of valuable knowledge and insights will take place in a hybrid format in English. The presentations will be held at the TUM Campus in Munich and streamed live online.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact the IGP team at TUM.
