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.

The spin-off project Rement from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has identified demolition concrete as a valuable raw material and processes it into new building materials in a climate-friendly way. With this approach, the founders won the 20,000 euro jury prize of the NEO2024 Innovation Award of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion on Thursday, December 5, 2024. They also won the audience award.
