FOR - We promote Research
We support the scientific community and the management of KIT in the successful implementation and further development of the research strategy. To this end, we provide information, advice and support in a proactive, cooperative and solution-oriented manner in the acquisition of research funding.
With our expertise in science management, we coordinate and support many strategic and operational projects and processes. In doing so, we interact with science, management and administration.
