[edit] Historical Background

The first step to bring together the university and the Forschungszentrum was already made in 1985, when the Institut für Meteorologie and Klimaforschung (Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research) was founded. The institutes of both the university and the Forschungszentrum were merged. The university and the Forschungszentrum have always cooperated but the cooperation increased by Juli 2006 when the KIT was formally founded.

As of February, 2008 the merger of University of Karlsruhe and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe to form the Karlsruhe Institute of Technologywas passed by the state (Baden-Württemberg) and the federal (Germany) government.^{[citation needed]}
