For the past eleven years, TUM Beijing has been affiliated with the DAAD office in Beijing. As the new Chinese NGO decree, introduced in early 2017, directly affected the DAAD, TUM Beijing had to seek for a new affiliation. With the strong support of the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Beihang), TUM Beijing successfully ensured a timely and smooth transition. At the beginning of 2018, TUM Beijing was reopened in the vibrant Haidian university district in the Beijing’s northwest. TUM and Beihang will continue to deepen their long-term partnership and promote new cooperation projects in the future.
