In our animated video for FORSAID, we explain how smart insect traps and genetic analysis are used for the early detection of invasive forest pests.
Through media:impact, we support researchers and teachers at KIT in effectively communicating their content. Whether it’s an animated video, an explanatory video, or a video-based online course—we guide you from the initial idea through to the finished production and work with you to develop media that reach your target audience and have sustainability.

AI is advancing rapidly and constantly opening up new opportunities for universities: from assistance with everyday tasks to AI agents that can independently take over workflows. At the same time, new questions are arising—such as those regarding legal frameworks, effective communication with AI, and the development of relevant skills. In this issue, we highlight current developments, programs, and initiatives that address these topics. We also invite you to participate in the second AI Challenge, provide insights into the work of media:impact, and report on other upcoming courses.
