Digitization in Studies and Teaching

The Board of the Technical University of Munich has set up the Steering Committee for Digitalization in Studies and Teaching with the aim of making the digitalization process in studies and teaching more dynamic.

Its members are TUM’s IT Management, the TUM Center for Study and Teaching, and a delegate from the schools.

All projects are carefully examined by the steering committee and evaluated in terms of their benefits, expected costs, and complexity, and prioritized based on these criteria.
