5.1.3. Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany<br />
KIT as “The Research University in the Helmholtz Association” creates and imparts knowledge for the society<br />
and the environment. It is the objective to make significant contributions to the global challenges in the fields<br />
of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 9,300 employees cooperate in a broad range of disciplines<br />
in natural sciences, engineering sciences, economics, and the humanities and social sciences. KIT prepares its<br />
24,400 students for responsible tasks in society, industry, and science by offering research-based study programs.<br />
Innovation efforts at KIT build a bridge between important scientific findings and their application for<br />
the benefit of society, economic prosperity, and the preservation of our natural basis of life. KIT is one of the<br />
German universities of excellence.<br />
<strong>EDI</strong> topics are implemented in the structure of KIT. Equal opportunity serves as a guiding principle in all decisions<br />
and measures taken at KIT and is therefore an important management task. KIT and all its institutes executing<br />
research, teaching, and innovation are committed to a culture of diversity as mutual respect, recognition<br />
and appreciation, openness and transparency. Successful and sustainable realization of structural diversity is an<br />
inherent aim of their activities. In addition, KIT offers support and advice to students with visual impairments<br />
through the Center of digital Accessibility and Assistive Technologies, formerly Study Center for Visually Impaired<br />
Students, and for students with disabilities and chronic disease through the Representative for Students<br />
with Disabilities and Chronic Diseases to enable inclusive study.<br />
