Major breakthroughs can only be achieved through international cooperation. KIT is part of a global network and thus conducts excellent research. The video shows how KIT supports major international projects, using the IBPT as an example: the construction of the Future Circular Collider at CERN. The first 2 metres have already been built, namely at the IBPT.

As part of the “KIT in the Town Hall” event series, the KIT Center MathSEE presented current interdisciplinary research in mathematics on July 14, 2025, in the Citizens’ Hall of Karlsruhe’s town hall.
This research is part of an interdisciplinary collaboration between IBPT and the MathSEE, linking modern mathematics with the challenges of experimental physics.
The aim of the event is to foster dialogue between science and society – through talks,
posters, and exhibits for a broad audience.
The world’s first superconducting undulator designed in collaboration between KIT and Bilfinger Nuclear & Energy Transition GmbH to generate THz radiation at FLUTE open exciting new possibilities for beam dynamics studies, non-invasive, and high-resolution research. The integration of SCU-F into FLUTE will be significant asset for the accelerator and THz R&D at KIT!
At Hannover Messe’s Future Hub, the KITTEN test field at KIT attracted high-profile guests, including KIT President Professor Dr. Jan S. Hesthaven and Federal Minister for Education and Research Cem Özdemir. They explored how KITTEN enables real-world testing of scalable, energy-efficient solutions for large-scale research infrastructures, advancing the transition to sustainable energy.
Test center KITTEN for sustainable technologies on all scales will be one of the main KIT topics at Hannover Messe 2025, March 31st-April 4th.
KITTEN combines two of KIT’s major research infrastructures - the Energy Lab and the KARA accelerator test facility.

The IBPT team gave several presentations on fs-THz and optical beam diagnostics, cSTART and beam dynamics, laser plasma accelerators and a group report as well as a poster on mathematical modelling. The photo was taken in front of the G7 sculpture, which commemorates the Göttingen Seven, on the university campus in Göttingen.
