In December 2020, the University Assembly of the TU Ilmenau elected Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai-Uwe Sattler as President of the University for a term of six years. The handover of the certificate of appointment by the Thuringian Minister for Economy, Science and Digital Society took place in February of this year. Also in February 2021, the Senate elected the three vice presidents for a term of three years. The inauguration of the new president with the presentation of the new Presidential Board will take place on Wednesday, 31 March 2021, 3:00 pm, at TU Ilmenau. At the same time, the long-time Rector, Univ.-Prof. Peter Scharff, will be thanked for his work.

A panel discussion on the topic "The University after Corona - back to normality or chance for change?" will focus on university teaching and research and the future development of the TU Ilmenau. Due to the current situation, the inauguration will be broadcast as an online event on the youtube channel of the TU Ilmenau (supported by the Forschungsgemeinschaft elektronische Medien e. V.)
