TU9 - A Voice for Engineering for 15 Years

On January 26, 2006, an informal exchange between the heads of nine leading Technical Universities became the TU9 Alliance. For 15 years now, TU9 has embodied forward-looking, creative research in engineering and the natural sciences and has been acting as an advocacy group among partners from science, industry and politics. A reason to celebrate - and as we can't raise our glasses together just yet, it seems only fitting against the current backdrop that there is a digital birthday present: the TU9 Alliance unveils its new website just in time for its birthday: www.tu9.de/en. "The TU9 Alliance consists of strong partners," emphasizes Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfram Ressel, TU9 President and Rector of the University of Stuttgart. "The research and teaching achievements of the TU9 Universities at the forefront of scientific and technological progress are a guarantee for the prosperous development of our society and receive much attention worldwide. The TU9 Universities are characterized by their enormous research dynamics and high reflective power.
