About
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT; German: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie) is both a German public research university in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, and a research center of the Helmholtz Association.
KIT was created in 2009 when the University of Karlsruhe (TH) (German: Universität Karlsruhe (TH)), founded in 1825 as a public research university and also known as the "Fridericiana", merged with the Karlsruhe Research Center (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe), which had originally been established in 1956 as a national nuclear research center (Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe, or KfK).[7] By combining academic education with large-scale non-university research, KIT integrates research, teaching, and innovation in a single institutional structure that is unique within the German research landscape.
KIT is a member of the TU9, an alliance of nine leading technical universities in Germany.[9] As part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative KIT was one of three universities which were awarded excellence status in 2006.[10] In the following "German Excellence Strategy" KIT was awarded as one of eleven "Excellence Universities" in 2019.
