Initiatives

The Human Subject Research Hub is closely connected with several initiatives running at KIT. Initiatives include existing research infrastructures as well as infrastructures currently under development with a focus on human subject research.

Existing Infrastructures:

• KD2Lab: The KD²Lab is one of the world’s largest infrastructures for research on human behavior and decision-making, offering a highly controlled setting and advanced sensor technology for rigorous, interdisciplinary experiments.
• Wir Forschen Digital: "Wir forschen digital" is a panel for people in Karlsruhe and the surrounding area, focusing on scientific studies regarding digital technologies.
• Spark: KIT spark co-creating futures is a meeting place in the heart of Karlsruhe’s city center that enables citizens to have their say and become part of the research process.

Infrastructures under development:

• Future Energy Panel: The Future Energy Panel is a research project at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)—supported by Stadtwerke Karlsruhe Netzservice GmbH and Netze BW—that examines the electricity consumption and energy-related behavior of approximately 1,200 households in the Karlsruhe region.
