Forum “Energy”
The forum „Energy“ aims to bring together numerous perspectives on the transformation of energy systems to gain a better understanding of the technical implementation processes and societal negotiations surrounding energy. The forum fulfils three functions within the unit of Environment and Society:
1) Platform for exchange for research projects relevant to energy
2) Network for the development of research proposals
3) Presentations on energy research within the unit or by lecturers outside of it
Our meetings are held in a hybrid format, and we cordially invite anyone interested to attend.
