We wish you and your loved ones all the best for the upcoming festive season and a wonderful winter.
We look forward to seeing you all again in 2025, happy and healthy.

NEW: HEiKA Strategic Areas of Research - STAR
The newly established HEiKA-STAR funding programme aims to strengthen sustainable research cooperation between KIT and HD University. The programme focuses on the funding of new joint research fields that will connect the two partner universities in the long term.
As part of the first call for proposals, which recently ended, the first three HEiKA-STARs were selected to receive funding over the next two years.
Congratulations to the successful teams!
We look forward to sharing more details about the research and other activities in the three HEiKA-STARs with you soon!
