Mobility plays an important role for the active participation in social life. At the same time, it is associated with challenges in terms of energy consumption, emissions, and landscape and climate protection. How can mobility and the increasing need for mobility services be implemented equitably and safely for all? How can the negative impacts of this development be reduced significantly? These and other questions will be in the focus of the Spring Academy Sustainability at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) from March 18 to 21, 2024. The project week will start with a public keynote and a forum presenting the region’s research activities and projects.
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.
