Quotes on the LAZ

LAZ as a central element of the Karlsruhe model region for MINT promotion

Here, students can think, produce, test, learn, develop and learn from mistakes. "Because you don't learn this in the classroom or lecture theatre, you learn it by doing it"

Source of inspiration in university education

KIT has set itself the goal of becoming one of the most inspiring places for academic education in Europe. To this end, we want to further develop our campus in order to offer students the best possible conditions for a successful degree programme. The establishment of the so-called Learning and Application Centre for Mechatronics (LAZ) at KIT is a key element of this.
