With the beginning of the winter semester 2020/2021 Prof. Dr. Sabine Maasen leaved her duty as member of the Advisory Board of TUM: Junge Akademie. On behalf of the active scholarship holders and alumni as well as the further representatives of the Advisory Board, we sincerely thank Prof. Maasen for her energetic and motivating support of our program for talented and appassionated young scientists of the TUM.

The duties of Prof. Maasen as representative of the professorship in the Advisory Board will be handed over to Prof. Dr. Ruth Müller.

Ruth Müller is an associate professor of Science and Technology Policy at the Munich Center for Technology in Society, as well as at the School of Management and the School of Life Sciences at the Technical University of Munich. Her scientific biography and her research and teaching practices exhibit and promote interdisciplinarity and a reflexive approach to the role of science and technology in our society. As a member of the Advisory Board of the TUMJA, she is particularly interested in promoting interdisciplinary cooperation between the social sciences and the natural and technical sciences. "The great problems of our time can only be understood and solved in an interdisciplinary way - social dimensions play just as important a role as technical ones".

Welcome at TUMJA, Prof. Müller!
