Resources on the Moon: an interview with Prof. Philipp Reiss

"Oxygen and water production on the Moon in the next 10 years"

The Moon has always fascinated mankind - and science too. Numerous space agencies are planning new exploration missions.

Philipp Reiss, Professor of Lunar and Planetary Exploration at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), explains why, more than 50 years after the last manned mission to the Moon, our Earth satellite has once again become the focus of space research.

Where community grows and careers take off

40 years of the Summer Academy “Ferienakademie” in Sarntal Valley

The Sarntal Valley in South Tyrol is not one of those vibrant vacation regions in the Alps. Here, north of Bolzano, small villages and hamlets are strung out over several kilometers, wedged in on the left and right by high mountain ranges. A secluded place whose importance for science and the lives of young people from all over the world cannot be guessed at when driving through. But for 40 years now, the Sarntal has been attracting particularly promising students to spend twelve days here during the summer vacation, which is free of lectures and exams.

TUM partner school honored with the MINT21 Digital Award

Girls stem STEM

The Technical University of Munich – that’s top positions in international rankings, millions in acquired third-party funding, research at the highest level. But what’s maybe even more important: TUM is a place that enables young people to develop their talents, without which such achievements would be impossible. That doesn’t only start at university: As part of the “TUM Entdeckerinnen” program, TUM cooperates with schools throughout Bavaria to get girls interested in STEM subjects. One of its partner schools, the Realschule Trostberg, has just been honored with the MINT21 Digital Award.
