Located in the far southeast of Bavaria, a stone's throw from Austria and in the geopolitical context of the European Region Danube-Moldau, the TUM academy centre Raitenhaslach, a former Cistercian monastery, is an international scientific meeting place with a European profile.
International scientific meeting place
Just five kilometres away from Burghausen, the opening of the TUM academy centre Raitenhaslach in June 2016 marked the realisation of a forward-looking opportunity: as an academic think tank at European level, the prelate building of the former monastery is now a prestigious conference location for international seminars, symposiums and congresses.
The prelate building of the monastery has been owned by Burghausen Town Council since 2002. In partnership with the internationally renowned Technical University of Munich (TUM), Burghausen has developed a visionary showpiece: the historic building has been renovated superbly in line with conservation guidelines, fitted with state-of-the-art equipment and repurposed.
Academic management meetings, student association weekends, international conferences and executive committee meetings of the university are now held here in historical surroundings. The TUM academy centre Raitenhaslach is also open to external companies as a conference venue.
