TUM Global Week 2024

Dear friends and partners of TUM,

The whole TUM family – as well as partners – are once again cordially invited to participate in this year's TUM Global Week with its varied events. The events take place on campus, via Zoom, and also hybrid. From May 13 until May 17, TUM students, researchers, employees as well as alumni and international partners can gain a better understanding of TUM's global activities, international partners, and research topics and learn about the many international opportunities, which TUM offers.

We would like to draw your particular attention to the following events:

• Going to TUM on exchange. (Tue, May 14, 2024. 1.30 p.m. – 3.00 p.m. [CEST]). This event is aimed at partner universities and directly at students interested in staying abroad at TUM. We will introduce you to the requirements and opportunities for a stay abroad at TUM and in Munich and show you why both destinations are so attractive for a stay abroad.

• Fit for studying in Germany – An intercultural workshop. (Thu, May 16, 2024. 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. [CEST]). Does studying at a German university in Munich differ from studying back home? How do some communication style differences between professors, students, and advisors reflect general German cultural standards and values? In this taster workshop, you deepen your knowledge about Germany and the Germans and also self-reflect on how cultures have shaped and influenced your life. You learn strategies to master intercultural challenges competently and learn about tools to deal with culture shock or "culture blues," helping you make the most out of your time here at TUM.

Feel free to share this e-mail with students and other relevant contacts within your institution.

We look forward to your participation and an inspiring exchange.
