The KIT Science Week was part of the successful proposal for the University of Excellence. It combines a scientific conference for renowned researchers from all over the world with events for the public. 

When attending kickoff talks, panel discussions, citizen dialogs, and guided tours through open laboratories: friends of science and culture in Karlsruhe and the region will gain exclusive insights into the most diverse facets of research.

In 2023, the KIT Science Weeek will focus on sustainability: various formats will look at the larg range of ecological, economic, and social aspects tof sustainability. A special focus will also be on climate protection: How can we contribute to sustainable  production, consumption, use of energy and resources, waste avoidance, and recycling on both the local and global levels?

Together with politicians, business representatives, and citizens, we will discuss responsible use of finite resources for present and future generations worldwide to lead a life according to their needs.
