Research institutes

How will we ensure energy supply in the future? How can we make sure that people in rural areas have access to the best possible medical care? What can we learn from economic development in Africa? And what makes a business idea become a successful business? How can we make seafaring even safer?

The questions we deal with in various research institutes are as diverse as our university: We look at questions from the maritime sector as well as energy topics, business in our region and in Africa and health in the digital age. Learn more about the research institutes and centres at FUAS and get in touch with our experts on the topic you are interested in most.

Research institute

Center for Sustainable Energy Systems

Energy supply that is 100 percent renewable and does not damage the environment or fuel climate change any further. This is the main objective of the research at the Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (ZNES).

Centre for Business and Technology in Africa

Africa is a continent on the move. Rapid developments create countless opportunities for people and businesses both here and there. What these opportunities are exactly and how they can be used as efficiently and sustainably as possible is what the team at the Centre for Business and Technology in Africa researches together with partner institutions from industry and research in Africa and Germany.

Dr. Werner Jackstädt Centre for Entrepreneurship and SMEs

The Jackstädt Centre has acquired more than two million euros in third party funding since its foundation in 2011. The centre has provided consulting on more than 50 business ideas from students. 35 businesses were founded with the help of the centre. Thus the Dr. Werner Jackstädt Centre puts its main research topics into application right away: entrepreneurship and SMEs.

Institute for eHealth and Management in Health Care

At FUAS we have more than 20 years of experience in research on the health care system. A lot has happened during that time: The digital age has changed health care, too, just as we had diagnosed early on.

Institute for Nautics and Maritime Technology

Navigating big container ships through stormy seas without leaving Flensburg’s campus? Not a problem for our students in the Institute for Nautics and Maritime Technology (INMT)’s ship bridge simulator. Research and teaching is done here in stormy and in quiet seas.

Wind Energy Technology Institute

Since its foundation in 2010 the Wind Energy Technology Institute has taken research on wind energy in a storm. The researchers at the WETI are particularly interested in the control of wind turbines, questions on grid integration and tower concepts.
