Campus news - The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and German Youth Institute (Deutsche Jugendinstitut - DJI) have entered into a partnership, at the core of which is a newly created Professorship for Empirical Social Research in Children and Adolescents. The partnership, which was sealed with a cooperation agreement, strengthens the commitment of TUM in the field of social and political sciences. For the DJI, the cooperation provides the opportunity to expand its own empirical research together with TUM. Headquartered in Munich, the German Youth Institute is one of Europe's largest non-university social science research institutes. Since its establishment in 1963 by the German Bundestag, the institute has focused on current and socially relevant issues at the interface of business, politics and science. The institute has a long tradition of carrying out large-scale trend studies on the living conditions of children, adolescents and families. For example, roughly 30,000 people are surveyed every four years as part of the "Aufwachsen in Deutschland: Alltagswelten - AID:A" study, which was launched in 2009 and examines the everyday lives of children growing up in Germany.
