An interdisciplinary initiative at TUM, exploring transformation through design, engineering and the built environment.
In summer 2025, the TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) piloted a series of experimental teaching formats exploring the social role and responsibility of engineers in transformation processes.
The resulting projects and insights will be presented at the Symposium and Exhibition “Engineering Together – Towards Responsible Transformation” at Pavillon 333 in Munich. The event brings together students, researchers, and the broader public to discuss transformation as a shared effort between society, technology, and culture. Through presentations, dialogue formats, and an accompanying exhibition, the symposium invites visitors to experience how engineering can contribute to more responsible and human-centered futures.
Christine von Raven talks about how to actually realize "Climate Infrastructures": from climate-neutral energy systems to climate-adapted landscapes. With a strong focus on the question of how to implement co-productive planning structures. The event will be held in English. This Thursday, 30th of October.
