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

Tuesday, April 4, 2023 10:00 am - 10:00 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

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.
