partner universities who have an excellent academic record and a strong motivation to apply for a
two-week international summer school in Sustainable Energies and Entrepreneurship at TUM with
scholarship support. UM SEED Center seeks engaged students from the Global South who are highly interested in sustainable development and eager to contribute to meaningful change. Applicants should have a keen interest in sustainable development and interdisciplinary research at the intersection of

Please note:

Accommodation and mobility costs are booked and covered directly by the TUM SEED Center, in line
with the principles of economic efficiency and frugality.
The organizational responsibility for visa applications lies entirely with the students. While the TUM
SEED Center can offer recommendations, all formalities and arrangements must be handled by the
applicants themselves.
If a student is unable to travel to Germany (e.g., due to visa issues or personal reasons), the scholarship
will be forfeited.
If a student’s flight ticket needs to be changed, is missed, or requires cancellation, the student is responsible for covering any additional costs. The TUM SEED Center does not cover such expenses, and it is the student’s responsibility to manage any necessary modifications.
