TUM Mumbai: State visit of the Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to India

During a week-long state visit to India, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave a speech in front of students at Delhi University on March 23, 2018.

In his speech, the Federal President emphasized the importance and challenge – for both India and Germany alike – to cope with technical advancements and to invest in science and research “to create conditions for ground-breaking innovation”. In this context, he also acknowledged the contribution that the German House for Research and Innovation (DWIH) in Delhi makes to foster the bilateral research collaborations of the two countries.

Since 2012 TUM is a member of the DWIH in India. Together with the other members, TUM Mumbai organizes dialogues, workshops and conferences to further raise the visibility of TUM as a hub for excellent research and innovation in India and to intensify the research cooperation of TUM scientists with Indian partners.
