Several demands on the KIT
Protesters have several demands on KIT. For example, KIT’s renewable energies should be expanded as quickly as possible. Among other things, the electricity supply for the North Campus must be covered entirely from renewable energy, in accordance with the request. In addition, students should be able to help shape the concept of energy and climate protection at KIT.
KIT runs protests
According to KIT, he sees no reason to “end students’ peaceful protest.” Teaching is not affected. In a statement, the university confirmed that renewable energies and their storage are among the main research topics at KIT.
“At KIT, we have been committed for many years to increasing the proportion of self-generated energy based on renewable energies.”
It is unclear how long the protest will last.
