Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) contributes to a sustainable development of technology, economy, and society. In this connection, the “Karlsruhe School of Sustainability” (KSN) will offer interdisciplinary study modules in the future. Among them are a studies course parallel to the job, a master program, a graduate module, and the module “Local education” that addresses the public in the area of Karlsruhe. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts will fund the KSN with about EUR 400,000 for three years under the program “Strengthening the contribution of science to sustainable development”.
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.
