Tsinghua University, founded in 1911, is not only considered China's leading technical university, but also one of the best universities in the world. As part of the flagship partnership agreed in October 2020, cooperation between TUM and Tsinghua is now to be intensified in research, but also in the subject areas of entrepreneurship and lifelong learning.
Scientists from TUM and Tsinghua University have already been working together for around 30 years. The lively student exchange between the two partners has provided numerous talents with new perspectives on their subject and enriching cultural experiences. Research and exchange are to be further intensified, with the new strategic partnership focusing in particular on Tsinghua University's location in Shenzhen in southern China, one of China's most potential innovation metropolises.
