Instead of appointments: Digital for at home
This should actually be an overview of all the dates in Karlsruhe for week 12 2020.
However, due to the current situation, we have decided to give you an overview of webinars, podcasts, streams and virtual opportunities to get an overview of digital offers in Karlsruhe. There are also a few things included that are simply for your entertainment and at the same time show you the advantages that a virtual museum tour can offer, for example.
for learning: Webinars

to listen to: Podcasts & Streams
Campusradio Karlsruhe is not only available on the radio, but also as a webstream.
The model approach is a mathematical knowledge podcast that has been producing audio contributions since October 2013, which, unlike radio, can be listened to when you have time.
The research podcast “Labor Zukunft – Forschung ohne Kittel” by Quartier Zukunft was recently launched. The second episode is planned for March 31, 2020. In this podcast, Quartier Zukunft focuses on urban research and development with a hands-on approach.
New Terrain, the podcast with Gerhard Jaworek and Sebastian Ritterbusch from the Study Center for the Visually Impaired at KIT Karlsruhe deals with questions of urban mobility for blind and visually impaired people, new technology and scientific methods for support.
KIT offers scientific entertainment in three different forms. There are two KIT playlists on Soundcloud:
The clicKIT playlist collects audio contributions that complement the content in the magazine, while the second playlist bundles the issues of the SRH Campus Report, in which KIT contributions are broadcast every Tuesday evening.
In addition, there is the monthly podcast KIT.audio, which addresses current pressing research topics and explores what KIT scientists contribute to them.
Reports on exhibitions, interviews with artists and curators or documentaries on exhibited works – the ZKM podcast channel already offers over 300 episodes to listen to and review.
