First Digital Research Fest 2020

Research and Innovation at the Interface of Management and Technology

At TUM School of Management research and teaching is conducted with an interdisciplinary approach at the interface of management and technology. This unique combination contributes to its international standing. The annual Research Fest aims at giving a look into the research that is being done throughout the various academic departments of the TUM School of Management. Additionally, the best poster of the research exhibition is awarded to young scholars, who presented their research topic at the event.
