Are you conducting research at KIT and have an exciting topic or concrete research results? But you don't know if and, if so, what can be done with them? Then you've come to the right place!

Together with you, we will embark on a journey of discovery and identify ways in which you can exploit the full potential of your research and, above all, ways that suit you, your personality, and your goals. With our innovative approach, we focus on practical, project-based learning.

Contact us for a non-binding consultation and we will show you the opportunities that your research can offer.

HAFIS – Helmholtz Academy for Intrapreneurship

HAFIS is a Helmholtz Transfer Academy jointly conceived and implemented by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Society for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf. We want researchers to recognize and seize opportunities to put their research into practice. This is how outstanding research results find their way into society and the economy.

In our interdisciplinary program, participants work with coaches on their own projects, acquire methodological knowledge, put together a team, and benefit from exchanges with experts from society and industry. The researchers develop their own projects and broaden their perspective on the opportunities for research to make an impact. Through collaboration with various Helmholtz centers and their partner organizations, the research topics also gain visibility beyond the scientific community. Most importantly, however, each participant achieves initial prototype results during the program.

InnoSuper – Innovation by Supervising

Mentors are important sources of inspiration in the development of young talent.

As a mentor in the scientific, technical, and infrastructural areas, you play a decisive role in promoting our talent and junior staff, thereby contributing to the innovative strength of our centers—a varied and challenging task. Our three-part training program for mentors provides you with in-depth knowledge in the field of transfer and innovation. Learn to recognize and promote the transfer potential of your team and strengthen your role as a driving force in research and development!

Become part of the transfer community and share your knowledge with your junior staff. The InnoSuper program is open to all specialists and managers who work in a supervisory role at one of the participating Helmholtz centers – FZJ, KIT, HZDR, and GFZ.
