Objectives
The Graduate and Research school is enhancing the research focus "sustainable energy supply and environment" at the University of Stuttgart. GREES works on improving energy efficiency in the industry, thus securing a sustainable growth of energy efficiency.
GREES also trains new doctoral candidates in the field of energy efficiecy, ensuring new qualified young researchers. GREES offers a special training program and is integrated in the graduate school of the University of Stuttgart.
Background
To solve future energy problems and slow down climate change, increasing energy efficiency is a key factor. It plays a major role in energy coversion, energy transport and energy usage to produce goods and providing energy services.
Organization
The following Institutes of the University of Stuttgart are part of GREES:
- Institute for Energy Economics and Rational Energy Use (IER)
- Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production (EEP)
- Institute of Combustion and Power Plant Technology (IFK)
- Institute for Building Energetics, Thermotechnology and Energy Storage (IGTE)
- Institute of Interfacial Process Engineering and Plasma Technology (IGVP)
- Institute of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery (IHS)
The participation of these Institutes with diffrent research foci enable a comprehensive perspective on energy efficiency and results in new, interdisciplinary approaches.
Former members:
- Institute of Chemical Process Engineering (ICVT)
