Promoting knowledge. Strengthening faith.
The KHKT Foundation supports and promotes the Cologne University of Catholic Theology by managing its financial resources. By doing so, the Foundation ensures long-term academic excellence and contributes to a vibrant community of students, lecturers and sponsors. The Foundation's goal is to preserve Catholic higher education in an increasingly secular world and allow it to grow sustainably, promoting dialogue between faith and society and ensuring a strong, future-oriented church-academic presence.
