KIT TRENT Innovation Day was successfully held in Suzhou
With the support of the Environmental, Climate and Energy Department of the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and State Agency for Environmental Technology and Resource Efficiency Baden-Württemberg (UTBW) have jointly established the Transnational Competence Center for Environmental Technology and Research Jiangsu Baden-Württemberg (TRENT). In addition to KIT and UTBW, our representative office and KIT China Branch provide support for the competence center. The TRENT project systematically integrates the existing capabilities in the environmental science and technology field of Jiangsu and Baden-Württemberg to provide a platform for communication and exchange for universities, research institutes, public departments, and businesses in the two partner provinces.
On July 7, 2021, the TRENT High-Level Event was successfully held at KIT China Branch , marking the official launch of the TRENT in Jiangsu. Since then, the TRENT project team has held a series of activities to promote communication and cooperation between the two provinces in the environmental protection subdivision field:
