The current issue of KontakTUM devotes 68 pages to the topic of creativity.

We accompanied TUM President Thomas F. Hofmann on a visit to one of Germany’s most successful start-ups, interviewed exciting musicians in the TUM network, and spoke with three Nobel Prize winners from the ranks of TUM. In the process, we learned what creativity means to our alumni and how they come up with new ideas.

With this issue, we are also celebrating the 20th anniversary of KontakTUM. For this reason, the alumni magazine is appearing in a new look and with new formats for KontakTUM readers.
