Karlsruhe University (also known as Karlsruhe University of Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)-Karlsruhe College F? R technical experts (toolkit)
In 2006, Karlsruhe University became one of the first three elite universities in Germany, and received more than 6,543.8+billion euros of research funds from the government every year, symbolizing the reform direction of German universities. Elite? The system has taken an important step. In June 2009, it merged with Karlsruhe Research Center to form Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
2. School history
The computer department of Karlsruhe University ranks first among all universities in Germany, with the longest history, and the teaching quality and scientific research results are second to none, especially in the field of robots. This is inseparable from the solid basic mathematics education in universities. Waldorf, 50 kilometers north of Karlsruhe, is the headquarters of SAP, the largest software company in Europe. The computer department of the university provides a steady stream of professionals for SAP, and SAP also maintains close technical cooperation with the computer department of the university, which provides its development with strong advantages in funds and projects. In addition to the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Mechanical Manufacturing of Karlsruhe University is among the best in German universities. Karlsruhe University has a history of 170 years. 1825, Duke Ludwig of Baden built a school called? Karlsruedo technical school? . The new school merged an original architectural drawing technical school and an engineering technical school in Baden. Since then, the school has been developing and reorganizing.
Throughout the19th century, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (starting from 1865 as an industrial university) has become a model of technical training institutions in all German-speaking countries in the fields of organization and management, discipline system and academic certification.
Starting from 1885, the school began to use the name of Polytechnic University, and the status of 1899 was completely equivalent to that of a comprehensive university. The school was granted the right to confer doctorates. It is particularly worth mentioning that degrees can also be awarded to women, because the then Grand Duchy of Baden was the first federal state in Germany to allow women to enter universities. This quickly won for the school? Particularly tolerant? The reputation of. 19 15 the chemistry department of our school awarded a female student a doctorate, which is the first time in Germany.
From19th century to 1930s, Karlsruhe University of Technology was world-renowned. Many outstanding scientific achievements come from here, such as heinrich hertz's proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves; Nobel Prize winner Fritz Haber developed high-pressure synthetic ammonia; Ferdinand-Lei Teng Bashir founded the earliest German mechanical manufacturing discipline system, which laid a knowledge foundation for the technical development of a new generation of engineers.
Since the middle of19th century, Karlsruhe University of Technology has also made great contributions in the field of humanities and social sciences. The representative historian is Flantz schnabel. In his masterpiece A History of Germany in the 9th Century (1934), he expressed his thoughts that originated from the birth of the University of Technology. In the further development of applied science, the bourgeoisie of19th century found its perfect expression. . The independent and pragmatic spirit that has existed for hundreds of years in the development of the western world has been realized. ?
1948 In the summer, after experiencing the difficulties brought about by the Nazi era and the reform of the monetary system, Karlsruhe University of Technology was almost facing the crisis of bankruptcy. So the state government decided to merge the original majors into three departments, namely, the Department of Natural and Social Sciences, the Department of Architecture and department of mechanical engineering. However, this is only a temporary solution, and the funds available for reconstruction are very small, and the pace of university modernization is slow. At that time, the physics classroom was acquired by Christian Gutson as a condition of employment. This classroom has 750 seats and technical equipment, which is the most advanced of its kind at that time.
1962, after years of application and hope, the university library was finally built. In 1960s, the number of college students increased rapidly, and the number of professors also increased. By the end of 1970, the school had 14 1 professorship. With the increase in the number of students and professors and the expansion of new teaching and research scope, more and more departments have been established. By 1973, the school has 12 departments.
Since 1967, Karlsruhe University of Technology has been called a comprehensive university. Despite this, the school still insists on using the name of the university of technology, so until now, the name of the school has been marked in brackets. Polytechnic University? Abbreviation of. This is unique among German universities.
3. The reputation of the school
April 2006 1 1, on the establishment of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology? Hepler Horst Hiepler and Esterman Dieter Erdtman of Karlsruhe University signed the contract of r Technologie/ Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Kit) with Pope Manfred Pope and Reto Sigurd Leto of Karlsruhe Research Center. On April 25th, 2006, a press conference was held on KIT. Since July 1 2006, the two organizations have used the kit logo on the same stationery.
The cooperation between the two institutes began in July 2006 1.
June 65438+1October 65438+March 2006, the first round of elite initiative plan was announced, and Karlsruhe University, Munich University and technical university of munich won. This directly becomes a reasonable reason for the establishment of KIT.
Finally, the KIT contract, which is an internal agreement, was signed on February 3, 2007. In this document, the two institutions are obliged to continue to promote the merger plan until the two institutions are completely merged. In February 2008, related celebrations were held in Karlsruhe Convention Center, and the federal and state ministers of education also attended the celebrations. 、
On July 8, 2009, Baden-Wü rttemberg State Parliament passed the Kit merger bill.
On June 65438+ 10/day, 2009, the Merger Act came into effect, and KIT became a legal entity, both a university and a large-scale research institution under the Helmholtz Federation.
In 20 10, the research funding of the university was about 732 million euros, including 2 1 10,000 euros from the federal government, 240 million euros from the state and 283 million euros from the third party.
