If the annual celebration began with science juggler Christoph Rummel, who commented on the ball game with terms like “orbits” and “friction loss,” it’s not an everyday occurrence. This first item on the agenda of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s (KIT) festive New Year’s reception, moderated by Nicole Krieger, also dealt with the theme of the evening: the universe.
“To learn what intrinsically holds the world together” – Goethe’s Faust has already done this, and KIT is also committed to this mission of bringing together research and society. This, in turn, represents a unique and valuable little world for the city of Karlsruhe, as Mayor Albert Kauflin (CDU) emphasized in his welcoming speech.
After all, KIT with 10,000 employees is an important economic factor for Karlsruhe.
Head of KIT Hanselka gives an overview of the research
Once a year, KIT presents the latest highlights in research and teaching and invites partners from business, research, politics and urban society. With this, KIT wants to show that KIT’s research in the field of sustainability, climate technologies and physics improves the quality of life and ultimately relates to the survival of humanity.
Climate change is putting pressure on research worldwide, and new technologies such as energy storage, which are researched at KIT, must be implemented quickly in the exchange between research and practice. President of KIT Holger Hanselka gave an overview of the latest developments of the world-famous institution at Audimax of Campus South. He referred to successful experiments, for example in the field of particle acceleration.
They are proud of the awards that allow staff to bring their nationwide reputation to Karlsruhe, as well as the progress made in the institute’s diversity policy and new courses such as the Bachelor’s course in Medical Technology. Research into synthetic fuels is also pioneering. “Sustainability is a matter close to the heart of KIT,” emphasized Hansilka.
Eleven faculty awards have been awarded
Sabine Döring, Secretary of State at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research stated that the universe has fascinated humanity from the beginning and that research institutions such as KIT make it necessary time and time again to engage with such a complex subject on many levels. Research is certainly a guide for policy and can change our view of the world.
In this context, teaching is also important because it gives young people an appreciative picture of our world. This evening, a panel discussion on the subject of the universe was concluded and eleven prizes were presented to faculty members.
And for all the science notwithstanding, there were also other quite daily findings that evening. Some specific numbers: 402 professors teach at KIT and last year 100,000 exams were written by students. A survey also showed that the favorite food of cafeteria visitors at KIT Campus North is lentils with spaetzle and sausage.
