Our History
Initialization
On 31st of October 3 of the founding management team members first came together to talk about our vision of creating a platform where database enthustiasts can learn, exchange ideas, inspire each other and grow as a community. A community which became TUMuchData.
Our First Time
On 23rd of November we held our first event, bringing together database enthusiasts from all backgrounds. Philipp Fent gave an insightful overview of Umbra, TUMs flagship database project. This event marked the beginning of our journey as a community.
We become an e.V.
Finally, we officially became a legal entity as an e.V.
Together we are more
Joining forces with Alex Petrov, we revived the Munich DB Meetup with over 1’000 active members by now.
Accreditation at TUM
We became an official TUM student club, allowing us some autonomy within TUM logistics, such as joining the student club fair.

Our First Trip Abroad
For the first time we organised a conference trip and sent two of our members to Amsterdam to get to know researchers and industry professionals, recruit new speakers for our talks and gain valuable insights into the database happenings in the Netherlands and Belgium.
First Conference Scholarship
In early 2025 we were able to organize a scholarship that allowed 15 TUM students to visit the biggest german database conference, BTW, in Bamberg.

Visiting the Amsterdam DB community
Amsterdam is one of the database centers in europe with strong research and industry. Therefore it was only natural that we visit it to connect with the community there. Additionally, Systems Distributed conference was hosted there by TigerBeetle in 2025. So we combined these two things in our June 2025 visit.
Scholarship for VLDB London
VLDB is one of the prime international database conferences. Together with our partner QuantCo we were able to send 8 students to London to attend it.
