Outdoor living rooms, smart houses, and environmentally compatible cement: On July 11 and 12, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will show how diverse sustainability may be. Sustainability does not only play a role in climate research or energy production, it is also relevant to sports, health care, or economy. This will be demonstrated by guided visits, presentations, and join-in events at KIT, to which the population of Karlsruhe is cordially invited. KIT’s program is part of the 2014 Sustainability Days organized by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection, and the Energy Sector.
