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.
In close partnership with society, KIT develops solutions for urgent challenges – from climate change, energy transition and sustainable use of natural resources to artificial intelligence, sovereignty and an aging population. As The University in the Helmholtz Association, KIT unites scientific excellence from insight to application-driven research under one roof – and is thus in a unique position to drive this transformation. As a University of Excellence, KIT offers its more than 10,000 employees and 22,800 students outstanding opportunities to shape a sustainable and resilient future. KIT – Science for Impact.
