Research

At the TUM School of Natural Sciences, scientists from different disciplines work together on research topics in the fields of bioscience, chemistry, and physics. This fundamental research generates knowledge that facilitates a better understanding of our world and the development of new technologies.

To make research achievements efficiently accessible and visibly available to the outside world, TUM has established a Research Information System (FIS). It collects information on publication performance, awards, and research areas of individuals and organizational units at TUM.

Mission Statement

"Discovery at all scales"

Our School is committed to an integrative and dynamic learning environment engaged in pioneering research across the natural sciences. In three departments and in interdisciplinary integrative research centers, we explore, understand, and predict nature’s phenomena at all scales. Combining physical, chemical, and biological concepts bridged by engineering approaches, we create solutions for the fundamental societal challenges and educate the next generation.

Our Main Research Areas

Across three departments, six integrative research institutes, three clusters of excellence, four collaborative research centers, contributions from the Max Planck Institutes, two venture labs, and numerous federally and EU-funded projects, the research focuses of the NAT School are concentrated on six areas.
