Habilitations are an important instrument for promoting young scientists at the School of Medicine. The habilitation is a university examination by which the teaching qualification in a scientific subject is established within the framework of an academic examination procedure. The recognition of the teaching qualification forms the prerequisite for the additional granting of the authorization to teach.
Opening of the habilitation process
1. As a first step towards the opening of the habilitation process, the candidate asks the Chair of the Habilitation Committee, Claus Zimmer, for an appointment for an interview. Consultation hours for this are Tuesdays from 10:30 - 12:00, but principally only by appointment in Professor Zimmer's office.
Contact: Univ.-Prof. Dr. C. Zimmer
- Sigrid Matussek (Secretariat)
- Phone +4989 4140 4651
- Email: sigrid.matussek@tum.de
All further steps follow from the habilitation regulations and will be discussed with the candidate during the interview.
Required documents for the interview:
- Curriculum vitae with scientific background
- List of teaching activities (informal)
- List of publications (sample template)
2. If the chair of the habilitation committee recommends opening the procedure, you should contact the habilitation office.
Please bring the following documents with you:

4. Opening of the procedure within the framework of the School Council meeting
The School Council decides on the progress of your habilitation application and appoints the habilitation committee responsible for your application.
5. Creation of the target agreement
In a joint meeting with your departmental mentor, you will agree on the framework conditions of your procedure in the target agreement.
A copy of the target agreement must be submitted to the Dean's Office immediately after its completion.
Additional documents can be found in the forms cabinet:
Habilitation Colloquium
The colloquium is an important moment in the scientific journey of our habilitation students. We are therefore pleased to be able to present these high-quality lectures to a wider audience and hope for a large audience.
The topics will be selected according to the focus of the research activity of the respective habilitation student, so that you can discuss them directly with the experts.
The colloquium will take place as a hybrid event on-site and digitally. The Zoom link and the corresponding log-in data can be found in the flyer.
