Existence of the International Department of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) on Schlossplatz, Karlsruhe, is secured by an agreement between the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Finance and Economics and L-Bank. The State will sell the state-owned building on Schlossplatz 14 to L-Bank so that the latter will be provided with the space it needs. As a result, the International Department can stay in the building on Schlossplatz 19.
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.
