Research Centre "Energy and Environment" at TU Vienna

The Research Centre "Energy and Envrionment" cross-links the research groups at the TU Vienna and acts as internal and external contact point.

The "virtual" Research Centre E+E is a coordination platform and set up free of organisational boarders such as institutes or faculties. It is organised as an open network and bundled up in a central management node. It acts as a communication- and project platform for the researchers at the TU Vienna in order to enable new ideas and the cooperation within innovative interdisciplinary projects and to develop holistic solutions across faculties. It is anticipated that this initiative will foster internal synergies and increase the public awareness, as well as the awareness of funding authorities and clients concerning the competences of the TU Vienna.

External openness and willingness for cooperation are a matter of course and necessary. Within the framework of the research focus point the expansion and intensification of cooperations with other Austrian universities, industry and communities is fostered, as well as the internationalisation of research.
