Institute for the Transformation
of the Energy System (ITE)
Ready for the energy transition
With the ITE, the FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences has established a research and transfer center for the technologies of the energy transition. It is located where the energy transition is being driven forward: on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The ITE works on an interdisciplinary basis. It combines the legal, economic, technological and social issues of the energy transition. This is unique in this form. Through our research projects and knowledge transfer, we are working with our partners in the region to get the energy transition off the ground.
The establishment of the institute was significantly funded by the EU and the state of Schleswig-Holstein as part of the “Campus 100” project.

The ITE pursues a normative objective: to shape and advance the energy transition in the region and beyond from an interdisciplinary perspective and with regional stakeholders. It combines the legal, economic, technological and social issues of the energy transition. In addition to the expansion of specialist know-how, the transfer to business and society is also being promoted. This is unique in this form.
