With its special expertise in classical engineering, robotics, materials technology, the entire breadth of natural sciences or even in questions of sustainability assessment and business model development, TUM can support industry on its way to the circular economy.
The TUM Mission Network Circular Economy (CirculaTUM) uses trans- and interdisciplinary approaches to proactively tackle sustainability challenges. The research projects of our members range from fundamental concepts of the Circular Economy to key technologies and implementation in sustainable business and social transformation.
Thematically, CirculaTUM concentrates on the three key topics of industrial value creation, the built environment and natural cycles.
