Greentech @ KIT: Always up to date – here at the “IT Science Week Sustainability”
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is one of the leading German research institutions in the field of greentech and renewable energies and definitely has a strong presence.
Within the KIT there is several research facilities and instituteswhich deal with these topics, including:
Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS): ITAS deals with the assessment and evaluation of technologies, including renewable energies, and their impact on society and the environment. Institute for Photovoltaics (PV): The institute researches the development and improvement of photovoltaic technologies in order to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of solar cells. Institute for Technical Thermodynamics and Refrigeration (ITTK): This institute researches efficient cooling systems and heating technologies that can play an important role in renewable energy systems.
