The TUM Speakers Series is one of the most prestigious event series at universities in Germany. Every year, dedicated students from universities in Munich organize events featuring international top speakers from business, tech, politics and society. “From Students for Student” The TUM Speakers Series was founded in 1999 by the then students Alexander Selzle, Clemens Berger, Dr. Jörg Siebert and Prof. Helmut Schönenberger, who also later founded the UnternehmerTUM.
Among others, the CEO of Vorkswagen AG, Dr. Bernd Pischetrieder, and entrepreneur Roland Berger visited the TUM Speakers Series during this time. This was followed in 2003 by a visit from German President Roman Herzog. In 2016 a visit by Bill Gates took place, followed in subsequent years by visits from international personalities such as Kofi Annan (United Nations), Tony Blair (form. Primeminister UK), Eric Schmidt (Google), George Soros (Open Society Foundaiton), Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Nico Rosberg (Formel One World Champion).
Our Leadership Team is elected each spring for a one-year term of office. Currently our President are Sophia Willmann (Student at TUM – Master of Science in Political Science and Technology) and Oscar Perez (Student at TUM – Master of Science in Political Science and Technology). They are supported by Department Heads and the Advisory Board.
The TUM Speakers Series has an advisory board which helps us to maintain and continuously improve the high quality of our events. It supports our team with a large network and practical experience in the academic and business world.
The Co-Chairs, Felix Rank and Antonius Amm support the TUM Speakers Series Team by managing the Alumni network and building an active connection between the advisory board, it’s members and the team.
