Climate and Environment Lectures

The KIT Climate and Environment Center has been holding regular lectures on
current climate and environmental issues since 2012. The lectures usually take place in the garden
hall (Gartensaal) of the Karlsruhe Palace. All interested colleagues of KIT are invited, as well as
citizens who want to talk to us about the perspectives and content of the research.
