- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is an academic research and education institution resulting from a merger of the University of Karlsruhe and the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. [Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany): http://www.bmbf.de/pub/eckpunktepapier_kit.pdf]
Historical Background
The first step to bring together the university and the Forschungszentrum was already made in 1985, when the "Institut für Meteorologie and Klimaforschung" (Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research) was founded. The institutes of both the university and the Forschungszentrum were merged.The university and the Forschungszentrum have always cooperated but the cooperation increased by Juli 2006 when the KIT was formally founded. Main reason for KIT was participation of university Karlsruhe in the German Universities Excellence Initiative, including the change to get a maximum of 50 Mio. € p.a. as grant from the excellence initiative.
As of February, 2008 the merger of University of Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe to form the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology was passed by the state (Baden-Württemberg) and the federal (Germany) government.
