HITSters can bike!
Overall, 10 HITSters participated in the nationwide competition “Stadtradeln” (City Cycling Challenge) to show that we can navigate through daily life easily by bike – and this way contribute to save the environment. The event took place from 20 September until 10 October 2020. 133 teams participated in Heidelberg alone, bicycling more than 200.000 kilometers in total. Team “HITSter” ranked 25th in the city-wide competition and contributed over 2000 kilometers. Thanks to their efforts, the team managed to save over 300 kilograms of CO² emissions while having fun and staying healthy.
About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
