"Let's hear it for sports!" - the current edition of the journal TUMCampus (No. 4/2017) follows with an editorial emphasis of this slogan. Interdisciplinary topics are the subject in four articles at the beginning of the magazine - which originate primarily from the Department of Sport and Health Sciences.
These handle the opening of the new beach-volleyball courts in the Olympiapark (pp. 6-9), an investigation of the science center at Weihenstephan on soccer lawns (p. 10), the innovative seminary on "Mountain Sports" (p. 11), as well as a co-operative project by the Chair of Preventive Pediatrics along with the Department of Oncology at the Pediatric Clinic in Munich Schwabing Hospital which offers daily sport for children with cancerous illnesses (p. 12).
TUMCampus is the university magazine of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The magazine appears four times per year with a circulation of 10,000 copies. Topics are, among other things, the university policies, scientific research projects, campus life, the teaching as well as individuals, which stand behind the TUM.
