ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a non-profit organisation, which provides unique identifiers (ORCID iDs) for authors. The ID allows to distinguish you from every other researcher – regardless of possible name variants or name changes due to marriage.
As a founding member of the German ORCID consortium, the TUM promotes the use of the ORCID iD and offers you the option to link your ORCID iD to your TUMonline account.
For more information on ORCID and the implementation of the ORCID iD at TUM please visit our ORCID webpages.
