Reduced consumption of resources is associated with many challenges for companies and institutions every day, examples being illumination, energy supply or waste management. Concrete efforts of researchers, service units, university groups or the city at KIT will be presented by the ZUKUNFTSCAMPUS in a lecture called “Facetten der Nachhaltigkeit” (facets of sustainability). This presentation will be made on Friday, June 12, 9.15 hrs, at the Kollegiengebäude der Mathematik on KIT Campus South (Englerstraße 2, room 014). The presentation (in German only) is part of KIT’s program for the Sustainability Days 2015.
KIT possesses extensive scientific competences for research into, development, and integrated planning of the city of the future in all major aspects. Scientists of five KIT Centers – Climate and Environment; Energy; Mobility Systems; Humans and Technology; Information, Systems, Technologies – work on studies and the sustainable design of urban spaces from their disciplines’ perspective and in an inter- and transdisciplinary manner.
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.
