The Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz is involved in about 100 R&D projects per year to further develop an energy system that has a positive impact on living, economic and environmental spaces, thereby strengthening the European economy and reducing fossil energy sources as far as possible.
As a non-university research institution, the Institute has a multidisciplinary structure: the inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation of the three departments of the Energieinstitut – Energy Economics, Energy Law, Energy Technology – enables a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of the future topic of energy. New challenges require new approaches, partly with new and partly with tried and tested instruments. In particular, we pursue a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to the development of the energy system.
