Energy, mobility, information, as well as climate and the environment are central research topics of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). As one of the biggest employers in the region, however, KIT also feels responsible for making its acting more sustainable. The KIT Master Plan 2030 now sets the course for sustainable development of KIT’s energy supply systems and buildings. As a symbol of its ambitious goals in sustainable campus development, KIT will plant a tree and early-blossoming plants on the area between the audimax and the Material Research Center (MZE) on Tuesday, February 14, 12.00 a.m. Representatives of the media are cordially invited.
