On this evening, the HfG Karlsruhe invites you to the ceremonial opening of the winter semester and welcomes not only guests and friends of the university, but above all new students and employees as well as two new appointments:

Prof. Charlotte Eifler (Professorship for Mixed Realities) and Prof. Paul Bailey (Professorship for Design in the fields of Visual Communication and Research), two internationally renowned artists* who not only enrich life at the university, but also the cultural life of the city of Karlsruhe.

Welcome and greetings from:

• Prof. Constanze Fischbeck, Deputy Rector
• Dr. Albert Käuflein, Mayor of the City of Karlsruhe
• Britta Wirtz, Deputy Chairwoman of the University Council and Managing Director of Karlsruher Messe- und Kongress GmbH (KMK)

As usual, the opening evening will also be used for the presentation of diplomas to our graduates. The stage design for the evening will be created by HfG alumna Vera Gärtner.

We are also looking forward to many exciting projects, innovations and dates that will be presented on this evening. For example, the research symposium “Shifting Paradigms”, which will take place for the first time in cooperation with the ZKM, which will take place at the university on December 5 and 6, 2024 with international guests to discuss transformations in the structures of artistic and scientific research.
