We are planning the migration for summer 2026. Communication will be provided well in advance.
TYPO3 v14 consistently continues the UI overhaul:
Result: The backend feels cleaner overall and closer to modern web applications.
A key focus of TYPO3 v14 is user guidance:
Editors in particular benefit from fewer clicks and reduced onboarding effort.
There are also improvements in day-to-day content work:
This results in a significantly faster workflow for page maintenance.
The dashboard has been further developed:
Backend users can get a quicker overview of their tasks.
Even if not directly visible, technical changes impact the user experience:
Less loading time and fewer errors mean more efficient work.
TYPO3 v14 reduces legacy complexity:
This makes the system easier to understand, especially for new users.
TYPO3 v14 does not introduce a completely new interface, but rather a consistent evolution:
For backend users, this primarily means: fewer clicks, clearer structures, and a more modern working experience.
We are pleased to announce that integrations with TUMFIS are now officially available for TYPO3 after the Open Beta Phase. The following views are currently supported:
Each of these can be configured individually.
Please note that TUMFIS must be requested and set up for your website before use.
Feel free to contact us for assistance, corrections or requests.
A code freeze for the current TYPO3 version 12 is in effect from July, 1st 2026. This means that no further functional enhancements, new features, or custom developments will be implemented.
From this point forward, only hotfixes for critical issues will be applied to ensure the continued stability and secure operation of the system. This measure is intended to stabilize the existing environment while preparing for the next major upgrade.
At the same time, work has already begun on the upgrade to TYPO3 v14, which is planned for summer 2026. Further details and a concrete migration timeline will be communicated at a later stage.
All stakeholders are asked to take this into account when planning ongoing or upcoming projects, and to refrain from submitting new requirements for TYPO3 v12.
If you have any questions, please contact us via email.
As part of an ongoing technical modernization, TUMonline and all related services will be gradually transitioned to new Public REST APIs starting July 1, 2026. This initiative follows central requirements defined by Campusonline, which has set the binding final deadline for full migration to August 6, 2026.
Over the past months, Campusonline has worked closely with users to further develop the interface landscape. Based on prioritized requirements, the existing legacy web services have been systematically provided as Public REST APIs. With the current release, all planned Public REST APIs for the standard legacy web services are now fully available.
According to the specifications, the transition is designed as a 1:1 replacement of the existing interfaces. The objective is to enable a smooth migration of current integrations without functional changes, while establishing a future-proof and standardized API structure.
All affected systems and integrations should be updated in a timely manner to ensure uninterrupted operation beyond the migration deadline.
If you have any questions or encounter issues during the transition, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.

To further strengthen its digital presence, the Technical University of Munich is progressively integrating Structured Data based on international standards such as schema.org into web pages managed by the TYPO3 team. These structured annotations help search engines and digital systems accurately interpret TUM content, including people, organisational units, events, and scientific publications.
By using JSON‑LD, the format recommended by Google, the structured data can be added cleanly and independently of the visible layout. This leads to improved visibility in search results and increases the likelihood of rich results, such as enhanced displays of researcher profiles or upcoming events. At the same time, modern AI‑driven search and assistance systems can better recognise and classify TUM’s digital information.
Within TUM’s system landscape, JSON‑LD offers additional advantages:
Furthermore, Structured Data improves accessibility on TUM websites. Assistive technologies can interpret content more precisely when it is semantically structured, providing a better user experience for all visitors.
By enhancing the use of Structured Data and JSON‑LD, TUM is investing in a future‑proof digital foundation that combines technical robustness, editorial efficiency, and significantly improved online visibility.
What do you have to do? Nothing, the feature is automatically available!

Many user accounts are either not used or haven’t been used for a long time, for example, because the person has left the university, changed departments, or no longer needs the account. The account cleanup process takes place in two steps:
Step 1 - Deactivation
If a content editor/manager/editor-in-chief has not logged in for more than six months, the account will be automatically deactivated.
If you wish to reactivate your account, please first contact your editor-in-chief. If you encounter issues, feel free to reach out to us as well.
Step 2 - Deletion
If the account that was deactivated in Step 1 is not reactivated, it will be deleted after an additional six months without further notice.
Should you need an account again, simply register for the backend once more.
Since August 2025, your support requests have been processed as tickets, just like you are familiar with from the IT support. Please feel free to continue emailing us at typo3@tum.de.
