number of added values from summer school programmes. First of all, summer schools are excellent platforms that not only bring lecturers with the students together through the intensive interactions in the classrooms, but also promote multicultural networking activities among the participants during and after the class. Second, summer schools serve very well as a foretaste of the delights to continue with a degree programme. Third, in spite of short duration, sum-mer schools authentically reflect our learning environment, the campus life and its connections with the outside world. Last but not least, summer schools emphasize learning as an enjoyable and entertaining activity during a summer vacation. Therefore, they will likely leave a pleasant and life-long impression on their participants. For all these reasons, we warmly welcome international students to attend our summer schools.

Impressions of former participants
“Words are not enough to really express what Munich Winter University meant to me on the academic, cultural and personal level. Through workshops and seminars I was exposed to interesting topics for my future research career and the people that I met here (academics, staff, tutors and colleagues) enriched me as a person and scholar. The memories of Munich Winter University will always be very precious to me.”
“Innovation is the best summer pro-gramme that I have been taken part in so far. It helps me to interact with international students. I gained a lot of knowledge from those students. The programme gave me an idea about my future work as a computer science student. The summer programme of Innovation, Technology and Society in Germany seems to be a small world in which we studied with students from seven different countries and cultures and religions. This is a good experi-ence for me because it will help me in my future when I will study abroad.”
“The Winter University was a valuable, successful and awesome experience for me. Because of the very good or-ganization, the whole group has learnt a lot, has encountered many unforget-table things and has made many new friendships.”
Mourad Ghanem Al Akhawayn University Ifrane Morocco
Gelu Trisca Eftimie MurguUniversityResitaRomania
Blaga Vladkova Technical University of SofiaBulgaria
“I liked the exposure to a wide range of thriving research centres in Munich and the rare opportunities we had to speak to experts in their respective fields. The programme definitely educated me both on the future potential of nanotechnology and possible applications, as well as the complications that may result. The staff and tutors were all very helpful and friendly and I really enjoyed the occasional excursions out of school!”

“TUM’s Finding Nano Summer Univer-sity Programme gives students insight to the exciting research landscape in Germany while also getting them immersed in the country’s unique culture. For me specifically, it was an unforgettable experience. As an engineering student, visits to research and academic sites were exception-ally interesting. However, getting to know the culture and language of one of the most history-rich countries in the world was equally fascinating. I also made a lot of friends and visited major sites during my stay. Overall the programme is an excellent opportunity for those interested in the world of nanotechnology, and who are willing to have fun while discovering it!”
“Having spent 3 wonderful weeks in the TUM Summer University is truly a priceless experience for me. In the programme, I did not only have the chance to improve my German language, but also immerse myself into the German culture and experiencing the social life in Germany. I truly enjoyed the activities offered, from the enriching workshops in research institutes and production factories, to the fun and relaxing tours around the cities and places of attrac-tions. I am glad to be one of the members of the Summer University, and I will take with me all the unforgettable lifelong memories and experiences.”

Vibrations of Structures due to Rail Road Traffic-Measurements of Vibrations – Predictions with Computer Models
Dates: October 2011Location: Belgrade, Serbia
Description:Traffic induced vibrations are becoming an increasing nuisance. The generation mechanism of the vibrations, their propagation in the ground, the pollution to the environment, and the countermeasures against this problem, which include the reduction of vibration sources, the attenuation and cutting of vibration transmission paths in ground soil and the isolation of buildings, are all under study in many European countries. The chair of Baumechanik at TUM and the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Belgrade have jointly put together a certificate programme which addresses the following topics: mechanisms of excitation, prediction of transmission (layered-elastic-isotropic half-space, solution techniques), assessment of resulting vibrations, measures for attenuation, aspects concerning measurements, high frequent vibrations (SEA).
Programme overview:• Professors from both schools will present specialized
topics to be announced.• Participants from both universities will be expected to
prepare and present selected topics.• Each day will begin with a short workshop.• The course will be worth 3 credits.• The course will include a cultural program "Getting to
know Serbia."
