“At KIT, we prepare our students for taking over responsible tasks in science, industry, and society. We rely on research-based education for our students to learn at an early stage to identify problems independently, to tackle research problems, and to develop sustainable solutions,” says Professor Alexander Wanner, Vice-President for Higher Education and Academic Affairs of KIT.
The event will be in German.
