Do you have an idea, but aren't sure where to start? Open Door and Open Table is a low-barrier, no-registration consultation format offered by KIT FORGE for students, researchers, and prospective founders at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Designed as an informal drop-in office hour without a fixed agenda, the service provides immediate, initial orientation. 

Visitors can drop in spontaneously to discuss initial ideas, explore funding pathways, or schedule follow-up deep-dive coaching sessions with the KIT FORGE team. 

Locations & Schedule

  • Campus South (K26): Held monthly in downtown Karlsruhe at K26, alongside the TRIANGEL Open House.

  • Campus North (Casino): Expanding to Campus North to offer back-to-back monthly drop-in sessions across both primary KIT campuses at the start of each month.
