**Parent**: https://www.professoren.tum.de/en/humboldt-professors
The honorary title "TUM Distinguished Affiliated Professor" distinguishes leading international scientists who are working at other universities, advancing a scientific area, and developing long-term collaborations with their colleagues at the Technical University of Munich. The honorary title is conferred by the President upon resolution of the TUM Extended Board of Management and the TUM Senate. TUM’s Distinguished Affiliated Professors are members of the schools putting forth their [nominations](https://www.professoren.tum.de/fileadmin/w00bgr/www/PDF/20251028_Konzept_TUM_Distinguished_Affiliated_Professor.pdf). Joint appointments of several schools are possible.
