Research priority: Renewable energy and sustainable development

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.

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).

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.

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.
