A special donation by the Klaus Tschira Foundation to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is to strengthen the latter for future research and education tasks: On Campus South of KIT, east of Adenauerring, the Klaus Tschira Foundation plans to construct a six-story building for KIT. Upon completion, the Foundation will donate this building to the State of Baden-Württemberg for use by KIT. The donation also includes the refurbishment of a neighboring listed institute building. In total, an area of 8500 m² will be made available to KIT.

The Klaus Tschira Foundation (KTS) supports natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science and wishes to contribute to the appreciation of these subjects. It was established in 1995 by the physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940 – 2015) with private funds. Its three funding areas are education, research, and science communication. The Foundation’s work in Germany starts in the kindergarten and continues at schools, universities, and research institutions. The Foundation pushes new forms of conveying natural sciences.
