Guests of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at TU Darmstadt

International scientific prize winners and scholarship holders of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation are visiting TU Darmstadt regularly. Here they engage in research and push scientific projects forward. We are glad to introduce our guests and their hosts.

The top address for foreign engineers

International engineers really like spending their research stay at TU Darmstadt. This was again evident in the renowned Alexander von Humboldt Foundation rankings of 2020. TU Darmstadt claimed the fourth place in the whole of Germany for guest researcher numbers.
