Many environmentally compatible technologies exist. Frequently, individual habits prevent a lifestyle with a minimum consumption of resources. This winter semester, ZAK I Center for Applied Cultural Science and Studium Generale of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will discuss cultural science approaches to a sustainable future. On Thursday, November 15, 2012, the series of public presentations will be started at 18.00 hrs by the honorary chairperson of BUND, Professor Angelika Zahrnt. She will speak about the end of growth society.
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.
