Transfer among science, culture, economics, and society is an important task in challenging times. To foster cooperation between research and the local theater, the Karlsruhe Baden State Theater and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) will stage “Nerds retten die Welt” (nerds are saving the world), which will interpret current research issues of KIT in an artistic way. At several locations on KIT’s Campus South, the public is invited to a creative performance on the future in the German language.

The premiere will take place on June 15, 2023, 18.00 hrs, at the Foyer des Präsidiumsgebäudes am Campus Süd des KIT, building 11.30, Kaiserstraße 12, 76131 Karlsruhe.
