With 9,300 employees and 25,000 students, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) wants to become one of the most attractive places for science and studies in Europe. By yesterday’s (February 18) parliamentary decision, the state of Baden-Württemberg and the Klaus Tschira Foundation again have agreed to support the KIT on its way to reaching this objective. Both partners will make major contributions: The state of Baden-Württemberg will make available a so far undeveloped area of nearly 20,000 m² that is located directly near the KIT Campus on Adenauerring in the Karlsruhe city center. The Tschira foundation will donate a building for direct use by KIT. Another two buildings are planned for close-to-research uses.

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.
