Teaching, learning, and research at a high level on the campus in the city centre and at the Schlosspark

The KIT-Department BGU takes a holistic approach to understanding, protecting, using, and sustainably shaping the environment as the basis of our lives in teaching, research, and innovations.

In this context, the geosciences and environmental sciences work closely together with the civil engineering sciences. Thus, the department makes an essential contribution to living in an attractive environment also in the future.

Please note that the dates in this calendar are not updated daily and all information is without guarantee. It is possible that dates are changed at short notice without us becoming aware of this. We therefore recommend that you check the information on the websites of the facilities concerned.

Schmidt Science Fellows Program

The Schmidt Science Fellows Program aims to expand the horizons of the next generation of leaders and innovators in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computing. It addresses outstanding doctoral researchers who combine keen scientific curiosity with the capability of cooperation, a wish to make a major contribution to science and the society by their work, and are ready to focus on a discipline that is different from their existing area of expertise during the funding period. KIT again is one of the select group of the world’s leading science and engineering institutions which are invited to make nominations.

 

The fellows receive a stipend of US $110,000 per year for up to two years of postdoctoral study in a different area from their doctorate, at any approved location worldwide as well as a participation at Science-Leadership-Programm.

 

Scientists of KIT who supervise doctoral candidates are requested to propose qualified candidates to the DE Internationales (International Affairs Business Unit), Mr. Oliver Kaas. Please submit complete applications under scholar@intl.kit.edu.
