Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) presentation by Dr. Klaus Rümmele

Waterloo International is pleased to be hosting Dr. Klaus Rümmele, Head of International Affairs Business Unit, from our valued partner university, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). 

Dr. Rümmele will provide a brief introduction to KIT. The format will be a presentation of approximately 20 minutes followed by 40 minutes of Q-and-A and informal discussion.

This session will potentially be of interest to many in the University of Waterloo community, including those who want to learn more about:

• the higher education system in Germany and Europe more broadly, through information about one of its top universities (KIT is a TU9 member and involved in many European (and international) networks);
• KIT in anticipation of potential future opportunities given that they are a valued partner and one we are actively looking to deepen and broaden engagement with following the Presidential trip there last year. There is potential for the following activities to occur:
  • travel to KIT (by themselves, by their students and/or staff),
  • hosting of KIT members, and
  • collaborative work in research, learning, and /or community with KIT colleagues.

​​​​​​​Given Dr. Rümmele’s position at KIT representing ‘the university as a whole (in its internationalisation activities)’, he is happy to engage on a wide range of issues with interested colleagues.  All are welcome, and no RSVP is required.
