During the 20-month scholarship, the development and implementation of a student research project is the focus of activities. The topics are proposed independently by the scholarship holders and are interdisciplinary. During the research, the team members contribute their skills and continuously expand them.
The groups are encouraged to develop solutions independently. They are accompanied by supervisors (active or retired professors) and tutors, both professionally and personally. In the initial phase of the project work, a hypothesis underlying the chosen topic must be developed and tested with scientific methods. The team then derives ideas for implementation from the research results, which have high practical relevance. Throughout the entire time, the group members contribute their expertise and deepen it at workshops and seminars.
In doing so, they acquire further interdisciplinary competencies and strengthen their soft skills.

TUMJA Team Somnoactive

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is a partner university of TUM. TUMJA aims at promoting the exchange between the two universities: Team Africast from #class19 interviewed Ghanaian students and experts in their podcast. In 2023 TUMJA launched the Buddys4KNUST program, which paired six Erasmus+ students from KNUST with seven current and former TUMJA scholarship holders or other TUM students who have previously been to Ghana.
We are excited that Somnoactive has been awarded the grant from TUM Association of Alumni and Friends and will thus be able to further strengthen the relationship with our Ghanaian partners.
