A wide, green meadow with large wind turbines and solar panel fields. In the center, there is a white industrial building with pipes that could serve as an energy storage facility.

Research fields

Five research professors and around 20 employees from various disciplines work closely with industry, practitioners, and the public sector. As an interdisciplinary institute, INSYS promotes cooperation between departments and involves students in projects—for a practical, sustainable transformation of energy and resource systems in the region.
