Technische Universität München (TUM)

Overview for „Science without BordersCiência sem Fronteiras (CsF)”

Brazilian CsF program at TUM

Bem vindos a TUM! Welcome to TUM!

It all started in the summer semester 2012 at the Technische Universität München: We welcomed the first

grant holders of the Brazilian scholarship program „Science without Borders/Ciência sem Fronteiras”

(CsF) in Munich.

Since 2012, the number of CsF fellows at TUM has continuously grown. Currently, TUM has already

received 200 grant holders, thus emphasizing its crucial role as German partner in this scholarship

program.

The following slides will give you a short overview of TUM and provide you with relevant information for

your possible stay. Hopefully, we will welcome you as our next CsF fellow in the summer semester 2015!
