We will have a look at different AI tools in daily practice and will discuss the advantages and limits of AI-based translation tools based on examples. At the end, we will draw conclusions as to how AI can be used optimally in daily routine translation.

Keynote und Diskussion: Vielfalt im Hörsaal? Diskriminierung an Hochschulen entgegenwirken | DAAD-Preis
Discussion
KIT Senatssaal, Engelbert-Arnold Str. 2, 76131 Karlsruhe (Gebäude 11.30), Campus Süd.

Topics such as anti-discrimination and diversity play a central role, especially at an international university like KIT. But how can anti-discrimination be promoted in concrete terms? What challenges do minorities face at a university and what solutions does Academia itself offer? How can open-mindedness be practiced at KIT and equal opportunities promoted, and where do we encounter everyday racism on campus?
 
 
The author and speaker Anna Mendel will talk about this in her lecture ‘Diversity on campus? - Discrimination at universities’. Afterwards, we would like to discuss the topic.
 
 
The event is organized by the AG Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination.
 
DAAD Prize  
The German Academic Exchange Service Prize for Foreign Students (DAAD Prize) will also be awarded during the event. The prize is endowed with 1,000 euros and is awarded to students who have made special academic achievements and have also shown outstanding commitment in an international context at KIT.

Anniversary exhibition "200 years of KIT - 100 objects. Parts of the whole. Selected objects from the history of KIT."
ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien
Lorenzstraße 19 …

The exhibition on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of KIT's foundation presents its history in 100 objects. This selection conveys the identity of KIT based on the development of its predecessor institutions. In the loose selection of exhibits, it becomes clear how KIT's current university mission evolved from the teaching of technology that began in 1825, and how large-scale research developed from the work begun in 1956 to develop a new energy source. The individual objects initially speak for themselves, without being forced into any particular order. Just browsing through them reveals such diverse aspects as the development of the scientific subject area, the teaching activities and also some details of everyday life in one of the largest and oldest scientific institutions in Germany.
 
The opening hours of the exhibition are based on the opening hours of the ZKM | Center for Art and Technology.

11:00 - 13:30
