The University of Stuttgart, established in 1829, has about 26,000 students. Its vision "Intelligent Systems for a Sustainable Society" and its profile "The Stuttgart Way" stand for a consistent interdisciplinary integration of engineering, natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Its outstanding role as a worldwide connected research university is reflected, among others, by the two Clusters of Excellence "Data-integrated Simulation Sciences" and "Integrative Computational Design and Construction for Architecture," the ARENA 2036 Research Campus, participation in the "Cyber Valley" network, as well as by a number of collaborative research centers and research training groups. Being "The Research University in the Helmholtz Association", KIT creates and imparts knowledge for the society and the environment. It is the objective to make significant contributions to the global challenges in the fields of energy, mobility, and information. For this, about 9,300 employees cooperate in a broad range of disciplines in natural sciences, engineering sciences, economics, and the humanities and social sciences. KIT prepares its 24,400 students for responsible tasks in society, industry, and science by offering research-based study programs. Innovation efforts at KIT build a bridge between important scientific findings and their application for the benefit of society, economic prosperity, and the preservation of our natural basis of life.
