The exhibition on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of KIT's foundation presents its history in 100 objects. This selection conveys the identity of KIT based on the development of its predecessor institutions. In the loose selection of exhibits, it becomes clear how KIT's current university mission evolved from the teaching of technology that began in 1825, and how large-scale research developed from the work begun in 1956 to develop a new energy source. The individual objects initially speak for themselves, without being forced into any particular order. Just browsing through them reveals such diverse aspects as the development of the scientific subject area, the teaching activities and also some details of everyday life in one of the largest and oldest scientific institutions in Germany.

200 Jahre nach der Gründung des Polytechnikums in Karlsruhe sind Frauen in den MINT-Fächern immer noch unterrepräsentiert. Die historische Analyse zeigt, dass viele Debatten über geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheiten in Bildung und Berufswelt ihre Wurzeln in der Weimarer Zeit haben. Die Zwischenkriegszeit war geprägt von der Weltwirtschaftskrise und dem aufkommenden Nationalsozialismus – Faktoren, die den Zugang von Frauen zu Bildung und Wissenschaft erheblich beeinflussten. Der Vortrag widmet sich der Entwicklung weiblicher Studierender an der TH Karlsruhe zwischen 1920 und 1933. Basierend auf bisher nicht ausgewerteten Matrikelbüchern aus dem KIT-Archiv, bietet er eine Analyse der Studienverläufe, sozialen Hintergründe und Fachpräferenzen der Studentinnen. Der Eintritt von Frauen in technische Studiengänge war nicht nur ein Ausdruck individueller Emanzipation, sondern auch ein Indikator für die Öffnung traditionell männlich dominierter Bildungs- und Berufsfelder.
 
Wir laden Sie ganz herzlich zum Colloquium Fundamentale ein!
 
Das Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) feiert 2025 sein 200-jähriges Jubiläum. Obwohl das KIT als Institution erst 2009 entstand, reicht die Geschichte seiner Vorläufer weit zurück. Im Colloquium Fundamentale „200 Jahre – 6 Zugänge. Entwicklungen, Ereignisse und Kontroversen in der Geschichte des KIT“ geben wir Einblicke zu der historisch gewachsenen Identität des KIT, fokussieren Probleme in seiner Geschichte und stellen heutige Ansätze des KIT zur Lösung von Interessenkonflikten vor.
 
Das Colloquium Fundamentale wird im Sommersemester 2025 vom Studium Generale. Forum Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft (FORUM) in Kooperation mit dem KIT-Archiv veranstaltet.
 
Der Vortrag findet zudem im Rahmen des Wissenschaftsfestivals EFFEKTE statt.
Seit 2013 organisiert das Wissenschaftsbüro der Stadt Karlsruhe alle zwei Jahre das Wissenschaftsfestival EFFEKTE. Auch in diesem Jahr kommen Wissenschafts- und Forschungseinrichtungen der Stadt während des Festivals vom 17. bis 25. Mai 2025 mit Bürgerinnen und Bürgern ins Gespräch.

What do digitalization and democracy have to do with each other? How must digital tools be designed to activate and engage people for democratic coexistence instead of contributing to polarization? What pitfalls need to be considered?
 
Navigating the tension between digitalization and democracy safely is a key competence – especially at a technical university like KIT, where digital tools are developed and researched.
 
At the Digital Democracy Camp, students discuss and test central topics and tools together with representatives from science and society at several stations – this is where digital democracy becomes tangible!
 
The camp is part of the project "Digital Democracy – Key Competences in and for Digital Democracy", which started on October 1, 2024, at the HoC-Methodenlabor.

Kunst am Campus Süd owes its existence mainly to the ‘Kunst am Bau’ programme of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Since the mid-1950s, artists have been developing their ideas on the subject of art and science as the campus buildings were being constructed.
 
The number of participants is limited to 20 people.

„200 Jahre KIT“ macht es deutlich: Das KIT identifiziert sich mit seinen Vorgängerinstitutionen, von denen nur der Universitätsbereich – damals als TH Karlsruhe – im Dritten Reich existierte. Durch Eingriffe, wie die antisemitische Verfolgung oder die Einführung des Führerprinzips, wurde die Hochschule deformiert. Der Lehrkörper exponierte sich, z.B. in NS-Organisationen, während die Studentenschaft bereits vor 1933 stark nationalsozialistisch dominiert gewesen war. Die auf Autarkie und Wehrtüchtigkeit zielende Politik eröffnete Ressourcen; der auf die Aufrüstung folgende Krieg tötete Angehörige der Institution und zerstörte ihre Gebäude.
 
Im Vortrag wird die Forschungslage zur NS-Geschichte der TH Karlsruhe dargestellt und kontextualisiert. Auch das 1956 gegründete Forschungszentrum besitzt eine NS-Vergangenheit – nicht zuletzt durch sein Personal – und die NS-Nachgeschichte wirkt auf das Selbstverständnis des KIT bis heute.

Die spät entdeckte Kernspaltung wurde leider zuerst militärisch genutzt. Als die zivile Kernforschung in der BRD 1956 wieder begann, wurde der Forschungsbedarf für die neue Technologie zunächst unterschätzt. Doch aus der für nur wenige Jahre geplanten Reaktorstation in Karlsruhe wurde ein Großforschungszentrum mit 4.000 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern. Nach den Energiekrisen von 1973 und 1979 wurden dem Zentrum wichtige Aufgaben im Rahmen des geplanten Ausbaus der Kernenergie übertragen, die um 1990 schneller und früher als erwartet beendet wurden. Ab 1991 reduzierte das Zentrum die nuklearen Aktivitäten auf Sicherheit, Entsorgung und Kernfusion und begann mit Arbeiten zu Umwelt- und Klimaschutz, zur Mikrosystemtechnik und ab 1998 auch zur Nanotechnologie. Dabei intensivierte sich die für beide Seiten vorteilhafte Zusammenarbeit mit der Universität Karlsruhe. Mit dem Vorschlag, die beiden Einrichtungen zusammenzuführen, gewannen diese 2006 die erste Exzellenzinitiative des Bundes und der Länder.

Das KIT ist in seinen beiden Vorgängereinrichtungen, der Technischen Hochschule und dem Kernforschungszentrum, stets eine Quelle für Innovation und Fortschritt gewesen und ist dies weiterhin. Anders als bei vielen anderen technischen Forschungseinrichtungen wurde hier die Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft bereits seit den 1970er Jahren anerkannt, so vor allem in Ethik und Technikfolgenabschätzung, heute auch in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit. Dass der Deutsche Bundestag nunmehr seit über 30 Jahren aus dem KIT heraus zu Fragen des technischen und wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts beraten wird und dass am KIT Pionierarbeit zur Reallaborforschung geleistet wurde, sind keine Zufälle. Vielmehr bauen sie auf einer jahrzehntelangen Tradition auf, die heute zu den Alleinstellungsmerkmalen des KIT gehört.
 
Verantwortlich zeichnet dafür nicht zuletzt das Institut für Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse (ITAS) des KIT, das 2025 sein 30-jähriges Bestehen feiert. Das ITAS hat sich in den vergangenen drei Dekaden von einer kleinen beratungsorientierten Forschungsrichtung Schritt für Schritt zu einer in Wissenschaften, in der Politik, aber auch in Öffentlichkeit und Zivilgesellschaft anerkannten Einrichtung entwickelt.
