It is evident from the current flood catastrophe: Water is powerful and inconsistent. Scientists of the “Earth and Environment” Competence Area of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) study these and other properties of water for a better understanding and use. On Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 18.30 hrs, they will present their work at the Karlsruhe city hall under the heading of “Wasserkreisläufe – Vielfalt im Wandel” (Water Cycles – Diversity Subject to Change).”
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.
