Dear reader,
Fall is just around the corner. Nature is changing and the days are getting shorter again. Just in time for the start of fall, we have planned our Oktoberfest BBQ on September 26! The Oktoberfest is one of the most famous events in Germany. It is celebrated in Munich. The Canstatter Wasen is celebrated in Stuttgart, which is similar to the Oktoberfest in Munich. It is well worth a visit. There is also a public holiday coming up soon on October 3rd (Reunification Day). Remember that the stores are closed on this day. Please find all relevant information about the upcoming excursions and events below in this newsletter!

We often have a waiting list, and it is unfair to other interested parties if spots remain unused due to no-shows. We ask for your understanding on this matter.

Blended Intensive Programs (BIP) are short, intensive programs that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, blended intensive programs aim at reaching academic and administrative staff as well as all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles.
As a new funding line in the current Erasmus+ program generation, this format does not only provide mobility funding for participants, but also financial support for the organisation of the program. Further information can be found here.
If you are interested in participating in a BIP or organising one, feel free to reach out to: erasmus-shortterm@intl.kit.edu

Call for Registration - Various dates are available:
We are pleased to present to you today the KHYS further education program "Fit for your next career step" 2024:
Alongside many established and some new topics, KHYS has a focus in the coming year on how artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are changing the way we work. KHYS has therefore integrated ChatGPT as a topic in selected workshops on scientific writing, creative thinking and comprehensible communication. Over the course of the year, KHYS is planning further events on the topics of AI and data, which will be announced separately.
As always, many of your suggestions and feedback have been incorporated into the design of the program. Thus, some pilot courses will take place in shorter sessions over several weeks for the first time – for example, "Zeit- und Selbstmanagement" (in German) or "Interdisciplinary Thinking". The aim is to support a particularly intensive learning effect and the transfer of what has been learnt into everyday life.
Registration for most of our events and e-learning programs in the first half of 2024 is now open via the event calendar. You can find a thematically sorted overview on our website.
Please note that KHYS is constantly expanding their program and that events for the second half of 2024 in particular may be added. KHYS will be happy to inform you about this at a later time. Please also note the updated terms and conditions of participation.
KHYS is looking forward to welcoming you to their events!
