This edition of the research meeting hour "Tell me, ITAS" is part of the KIT Science Week Programme and builds on current climate research and underscores the need for a transformation toward a climate-friendly society. The concept of the handprint is presented as a central element. Its goal is to permanently anchor climate protection structurally through targeted engagement, making sustainable living easier for everyone. The handprint invites you to take an active role in the transformation. ITAS researcher Markus Szaguhn will answer all your questions about the "handprint" and climate research.    WHEN? 15 October 2025 from 12 a.m. to 2 p.m. WHERE? MobiLab at Friedrichsplatz, Karlsruhe Entry free Starting with a keynote speech at 12 noon, you can join the discussion or leave at any time.   “Tell me, ITAS” is a series of events organized by ITAS in which researchers move their workplace to Karl9 - Wissenschaftslokal für Technik und Gesellschaft or to the TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum once a week and answer your questions about their research topics.
