The TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability (TUMCS; Science Center Straubing, WZS until September 30, 2017 ) is part of the Technical University of Munich as a so-called Integrative Research Center . The university location Straubing (as of the end of 2019 around 410 students) works across industries and disciplines in the development of sustainable technologies on the one hand and their economic implementation on the other. The Straubing campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) cooperates in research and teaching with the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences, among others .
The TUM Campus Straubing, together with the Technology and Support Center and CARMEN, form the Straubing KoNaRo - Competence Center for Renewable Raw Materials .
research
The Technical University of Munich bundles its competence and activities in the field of bioeconomy at the TUM Campus Straubing . Due to the cross-industry and cross-disciplinary nature of the topic, representatives of the natural, engineering, ecosystem and economic sciences work together on the TUM Straubing Campus. This covers questions from the molecule to marketing in teaching and research.
Technical feasibility, economic efficiency and sustainability, as well as the broadening of the raw material base are important research goals of the scientists at the TUM Campus Straubing. For this purpose, for example, microorganisms, enzymes or chemical catalysts are developed and used to convert renewable raw materials into basic chemical building blocks for bio-based polymers , specialty or fine chemicals or direct high-quality end products such as B. proteins, amino acids or pharmaceuticals to gain from it. Plastics, rubber articles and textile fibers can often be produced on the basis of biogenic polymers.
Education
The academic training takes place within the framework of several Bachelor and Master courses.
Thus, in the bachelor degree programs bioeconomy, Dry biotechnology and technology and management-oriented Business Economics (TUM-BWL) offered (Bachelor of Science). The wide-ranging study content of the bachelor's program in Renewable Resources, which will soon expire, will be divided between the current and planned study programs in order to be able to delve deeper into the subject. The bachelor's degree courses in Biogenic Materials and Technology of Biogenic Raw Materials will start in the coming winter semester 2020/21 (subject to the approval of the Ministry).
For master’s students (Master of Science), the TUM Campus Straubing has offered the courses Biomass Technology, Renewable Raw Materials and, based on the Bachelor’s course in Chemical Biotechnology, the consecutive course in Chemical Biotechnology, which is offered entirely in English, since the summer semester 2020. This makes the courses on offer at the TUM Campus Straubing interesting for international students. In addition, the Bioeconomy master’s course will start in the 2020/21 winter semester, and the Technology of Biogenic Resources course is also in preparation.
The doctorate is the highest academic degree awarded at the TUM Campus Straubing.
The content of the study is the entire value chain of biogenic raw materials. Due to the close connection between basic and application-oriented research and teaching, as well as a particularly high tutoring ratio, the courses prepare very well for the challenges in this future industry.
Location
Most of the site is located on the site of the former Franciscan monastery in Straubing . Between 2006 and 2009 a new building was built in Schulgasse 16. In the coming years, a significant expansion of the TUM Campus Straubing is planned. Among other things, a new lecture hall and laboratory building is being built close to the banks of the Danube, which also includes a stepped lecture hall with space for up to 300 students.
The Carmelite Church in Straubing has been the University Church of the Technical University of Munich since September 2019. In 2018, the Free State of Bavaria acquired the Carmelite monastery , which was threatened with closure , which is now being converted and will be used by the TUM Straubing campus in the future.
history
In 1998 the Bavarian State Government decided to bundle the Bavarian activities related to renewable raw materials in Straubing. In January 2001 the competence center for renewable raw materials was officially founded. CARMEN e. V. and the first subject areas of the technology and support center moved to Straubing for this purpose. In July 2001 the concept was expanded to include the Straubing Science Center. Martin Faulstich became the founding director. In 2013 he was followed by Klaus Menrad from the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences as managing director of the science center.
On July 28, 2016, the Bavarian Council of Ministers decided to convert and expand the Straubing Science Center for Renewable Raw Materials into the Straubing University of Applied Sciences for Biotechnology and Sustainability. The university is sponsored by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences is set as a cooperation partner.
On October 1, 2017, a campus for biotechnology and sustainability was set up as a so-called Integrative Research Center of the Technical University of Munich in Straubing. Volker Sieber became the founding rector. Since then, the science city of Straubing has also been allowed to call itself a university city .
Professorships
For the summer semester 2020, the TUM Campus Straubing has 19 professorships (including three chairs), some of them in cooperation with the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences . The number of professorships is to be increased significantly in the coming years: the campus is to have 34 professorships by 2025.
