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.
 
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.

Dieser Rundgang bietet Betrachtungen zu Kunstwerken im Außenbereich des Campus Süd im Kontext zur rahmengebenden Natur, unter Führung der Kunstautorin Andrea Stengel (PB) und der Biologin Maren Riemann (JKIP). Im urbanen Raum existieren die vom Menschen geschaffenen Kunstwerke in bereichernder Koexistenz mit der umgebenden Natur, diese möchten wir gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden im Stil eines „walk&talk“ betrachten und dabei neue Blickwinkel ausprobieren. Der Rundgang dauert in etwa 2 Stunden und ist barrierefrei.
 
Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 30 Personen begrenzt.
 
Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich, weitere Infos unter: https://www.so.kit.edu/237.php

Intensive collaboration with foundations and the joint implementation of pioneering projects are also becoming increasingly important at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) from year to year. As a result, the need for communication, networking, information and exchange of experience is growing. On Wednesday, October 23, 2025, KIT will therefore welcome the science-promoting foundations for the third time at the Foundation Day in Karlsruhe. Foundation partners that already support KIT are cordially invited, as are interested foundations that would like to find out about possible collaborations.
 
Participation is only possible after registration. If you would like to receive a personal invitation to the Foundation Day, please send an e-mail to: fundraising@kit.edu..
