Stiftung Energieinformatik
About the funder
The Energy Informatics Foundation was established in 2013 to support the structural transformation in the energy sector by establishing and promoting the new scientific discipline of "Energy Informatics." It develops and applies methods from computer science, data analysis, energy engineering, and energy economics to create solutions for a sustainable, affordable, and secure energy supply. Together with Aachen University of Applied Sciences, the Foundation promotes education and training (including the establishment and support of an endowed professorship, development of the degree programs B.Sc. Industrial Engineering – Sustainable Energy Systems and M.Sc. Energy Economics & Informatics, awarding of scholarships) as well as networking and knowledge transfer (including the organization of Energy Industry Days, initiation of research projects, innovation workshops, excursions, and project funding).
