Past Speakers
Since its beginnings in 1999, the TUM Speakers Series can look back on a multitude of high-ranking speakers from politics, economics and research at the TU Munich.
With its guiding principle - by students for students - the TUM Speakers Series aims to enable viewers to learn directly from influential public figures and benefit from their experiences. This also aims to strengthen the connection between politics, business and society.
