KI²VA is a project funded as part of the Teaching Quality Pact

With KI²VA, TU Darmstadt would like

  • to strengthen competence-oriented studies right from the introductory phase of the study program,
  • to ensure students are actively integrated, and
  • encourage more young people to take a course in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) over the long term.

The project is accompanied by a scientific evaluation .

More information, particularly about the first funding period, can also be found in the KIVA brochure (opens in new tab) (in German).
