The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, briefl y referred to as KIT, was established by the merger of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH and the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) on October 01, 2009.KIT combines the tasks of a university of the state of Baden-Württemberg with those of a re-search center of the Helmholtz Association in the areas of research, teaching, and innovation.

The University of Karlsruhe was founded in 1825 as a Polytechnical School and has developed to a modern location of research and education in natural sciences, engineering, economics, social sciences, and humanities. KIT is organized in eleven departments. The Karlsruhe Research Center was founded in 1956 as the Nuclear Reactor Construction and Operation Company and has turned into a multidisciplinary large-scale research center of the Helmholtz Association, which conducts research under eleven scientifi c and engineering pro-grams.
