Frankreich

Karlsruhe's geographical proximity to France has favored this alliance, which is rooted in the tradition of the Napoleonic Polytechnic Engineering School. Today, this collaboration is formalized through important initiatives such as the Franco-German International Research Laboratory on Dark Matter (IRL) and the Franco-German Institute for Industry of the Future. KIT collaborates with institutions such as UGA, CEA and INRIA Grenoble on innovative topics such as artificial intelligence and energy systems. Strong academic links are provided by Franco-German double-degree programs sponsored by the Franco-German University (DFH), enabling double degrees in fields such as mechanical engineering and physics. KIT also supports mobility through research scholarships for Master's students, PhD students and postdocs, French language courses and administrative support for internships in France, including the provision of the necessary convention de stage.
