Division I - Biology, Chemistry, and Process Engineering

Division I comprises twenty KIT research institutes, the KIT Department of Chemistry and Biosciences and the KIT Department of Chemical and Process Engineering as well as  P2 - Natural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing (NACIP) and P3 - Materials Systems Engineering (MSE) in Helmholtz Information.

Collectively we are focused on our new research theme "Material and Energy Circuits in Circular Economy, Life Science Engineering, Process Technology and Digitalization". In this way, we research and teach the latest processes and methods of material and energy conversion for the circular economy and build a synergistic bridge to the life sciences. In terms of content, the size scales are addressed both theoretically and experimentally from nanogram synthesis to the near-industrial ton scale. All research in Division I is geared to the requirements of a resource-efficient data-based society.

Professor Dr. Andrea Robitzki has been Head of Division I since February 17th, 2020,

CIW Ingenierinnen Netzwerk ok
C/W- Ingenieurinnen Netzwerk (C/W 1N)

Das CIW- Ingenieurinnen Netzwerk (CIW IN) wurde 2021 von der KIT- Fakultät Chemieingenieurwesen und Verfahrenstechnik (CIW) im Zuge des ExU-Vorhabens Gender Equity 1 ins Leben gerufen. Ziel ist es, den Frauen innerhalb der Fakultät, unabhängig davon an welchem Punkt in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Karriere sie sich befinden, sowohl fachlichen als auch sozialen Austausch zu ermöglichen.
