International Fair
Trade Show
Festsaal des Studierendenwerks, Adenauerring 7

Getting involved internationally, but how? Getting to know other cultures, but where? Answers to these questions can be found at the International Fair!
 
As part of the International Days 2025, the Studierendenwerk is organising a fair together with INTL, where university groups, student initiatives and institutions with an international focus will present themselves. It's also a chance for all international students to show off a bit of their culture.
There'll be info stands, short talks, stage performances, presentations and other creative and tasty (!) samples.
 
If you want to find out more about the colourful, international and diverse life on campus and maybe even think outside the box yourself, then come along to the International Fair on Europe Day!
 
And for even more wanderlust, there will be a small photo exhibition of the “My stay abroad” competition and the award ceremony for the winners.
 
Admission is free!

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.
