context_page_description: The Technical University of Berlin is a research university located in Berlin, Germany. It was the first German university to adopt the name "Technische Universität".
  The university alumni and professor list includes several US National Academies members, two National Medal of Science laureates and seven Nobel Prize winners.
  TU Berlin is a member of TU9, an incorporated society of the largest and most notable German institutes of technology and of the Top Industrial Managers for Europe network, which allows for student exchanges between leading engineering schools. It belongs to the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research. The TU Berlin is home of two innovation centers designated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The university is labeled as "The Entrepreneurial University" by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
  The university is notable for having been the first to offer a degree in Industrial Engineering and Management. The university designed the degree in response to requests by industrialists for graduates with the technical and management training to run a company.
