*All FINTA bachelor’s and master’s students as well as PhD candidates and post-docs at TUM are welcome to apply as mentees, and thus women, intersex, non-binary, transgender and agender people.
TUM is looking for mentors of all genders (preferably but not necessarily) with a non-academic background across all academic target groups (master's and bachelor's students in higher semesters, doctoral candidates, postdocs, researchers, professors) as well as industry experts for mentoring.

Die TUM School of Natural Sciences ist erfolgreich, wenn alle teilhaben können: unsere School setzt sich mit der kostenlosen Bereitstellung von Binden und Tampons für Chancengleichheit in allen Bereichen des Hochschullebens ein. Das Projekt startet Anfang November 2024.
Die kostenlosen Menstruationsprodukte ermöglichen es Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden, sich auf ihr Studium oder ihre Arbeit zu konzentrieren, ohne sich um die Verfügbarkeit von Menstruationsprodukten sorgen zu müssen. Die Spenderboxen befinden sich vor Toiletten in unseren Chemie- und Physikgebäuden.
Für alle, die während des Tages Binden oder Tampons benötigen, gibt es jetzt entsprechende Spender vor den Toiletten an folgenden Standorten:
Die Fachschaft NAT kümmert sich darum, dass die Spender aufgefüllt werden. Wenn Sie also bemerken, dass ein Spender leer sein sollte, wenden Sie sich bitte per E-Mail an fsnat@fs.tum.de. Nehmen Sie bitte nur das mit, was Sie für den Tag brauchen, damit auch die nächste Person noch die Möglichkeit besitzt, sich mit Menstruationsartikel auszustatten.
Weitere Informationen über Menstruationsarmut und ihre Verbindung zur Chancengleichheit finden Sie im Bericht „Menstruation im Fokus“ von Plan International.
Wenn Sie mehr über dieses Thema wissen möchten, ist die Seite der Universität Hamburg zu ihrem “Pilotprojekt: Tampon- und Bindenspender” sehr informativ.

TUM School of Natural Sciences succeeds when we all can take part: our School advocates for equal opportunity in every aspect of university life by making sanitary pads and tampons available free of charge. The project starts at the beginning of November 2024.
Free menstrual products allows students and staff to focus on their studies or work without having to worry about the availability of period products. The dispenser boxes are located outside restrooms in our Chemistry and Physics buildings.
For anyone who needs sanitary pads or tampons during their day, you can now find “Periodically” dispensers outside restrooms in the following locations:
The NAT School Student Council (Fachschaft) is taking the lead on keeping the dispensers topped up, so if you notice one is empty, just email fsnat@fs.tum.de. Kindly take only what you need for the day, so that the next person can also access the supplies.
For more information on period poverty and its link to equal opportunity, please read the report “Focus Topic: Menstruation” by Plan International (in English available as PDF).
If you would like to know more about this issue, the University of Hamburg’s site on their “Pilot Project: Tampon and Sanitary Pad Dispensers” extremely informative.
