Ten years ago, the KIT Foundation launched a chair sponsorship campaign for the new Nusselt Lecture Hall at KIT's Mechatronics Learning and Application Center (LAZ). Around 130 donors financed the seating. The LAZ is expected to open this year. The plaques with the names of the chair sponsors were installed in January.
On February 25, 2026, the Executive Board of KIT invited the sponsors, donors and members of the anniversary advisory board to a thank-you reception in the Executive Board building to express their gratitude for their great commitment and support in the anniversary year.
