The Collider is an innovative learning format at the Technical University of Munich enabled by the Professorship for Policy Analysis and supported by TUM Junge Akademie. Its aim is to bring students, vocational trainees and professionals together to tackle challenges around the theme “Leave no waste behind”. The goal is to connect participants with different profiles and personalities to boost creativity, innovation and shared understanding, enabling participants to imagine new approaches and design disruptive solutions. During the Launch event, we will explain the course of the EuroTeQ Collider 2022 in detail and our industrial and professional partners from the three disciplines Cities, Energy and Consumption will present their challenges to the students, vocational learners and trainees.
