Research on the Campus Garching
The School of Natural Sciences is not only the origin of the campus Garching, but remains one of the flagships of this extensive science park. Newly founded institutes and companies from different fields have enriched the campus Garching ever since and this development is foreseen to continue.
From fundamental research to the development of modern high-tech-applications: With more than 6.000 employees and more than 13.000 students the research campus Garching in the north of Munich is one of the biggest and most modern science and university centers in whole Europe. With the School of Natural Sciences and other TUM schools the campus Garching represents the largest location of the TUM. But also research institutions of the Max Planck Society, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the ESO and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University have settled at this site. Many scientists from all countries and all fields of research are attracted by the scientific potentials due to the interdisciplinarity at the campus Garching.
