Karlsruhe Institute of Technology | DE

As ‘The Research University in the Helmholtz Association’, the KIT creates and imparts knowledge for society and the environment. Its aim is to make significant contributions to the global challenges in the fields of energy, mobility and information. To this end, around 10,000 employees work together on a broad disciplinary basis in the natural sciences, engineering, economics, the humanities and social sciences. The KIT prepares its 22,800 students for responsible tasks in society, business and science through research-oriented university studies. The innovation activities at the KIT bridge the gap between knowledge and application for the benefit of society, economic prosperity and the preservation of our natural resources. The KIT is one of Germany’s universities of excellence.

The KIT acts as the scientific coordinator of the PREFIGURE project. Day-to-day implementation is shared between the Institute of Regional Science (IFR) and the Institute for Technology Assessment and System Analysis (ITAS). The scientific team is responsible for carrying out cases studies in Karlsruhe/Germany and Thessaloniki/Greece.
