The General Students Committee of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has a new board of management. KIT President Holger Hanselka and KIT Vice President Alexander Wanner welcome the election of the new members of the General Students Committee that will be chaired by Vera Schumacher. After the Students Union was introduced in Baden-Württemberg again by the green-red state government in the last year, this General Students Committee is the first of its type with a political mandate at KIT after 36 years now.
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.
