Research Academy

Fundamental research and global networking is our contribution to a solid scientific basis for effective climate action.
University of Greifswald

With the research academy, IKEM has created a platform that combines excellent basic research on questions of climate protection in all sectors with scientific exchange and the promotion of young talent.

Fundamental research

The research academy bundles all of IKEM’s scientific activities which, independently of projects, deal with the fundamental legal, economic and political issues of climate protection and in particular the energy and mobility transition.

Scientific exchange

Science thrives on discourse. The IKEM Research Academy therefore promotes scientific exchange with other scientists and participates in the academic debates on climate protection through events and publications.

Promoting young talent

Through courses, research seminars, a graduate college and interdisciplinary research projects, we train the climate protectors of tomorrow! In addition, we support young academics with an academic support program as well as the promotion of doctorates, theses and publications.

Promotion of young talent

We are committed to the training of young scientists and offer them the opportunity to complete their theses and doctorates in an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented environment.

Global scientific exchange

Effective climate protection only works together and only globally. That is why the IKEM Research Academy connects climate protection scientists and participates in national and international research projects.

International cooperation

Climate change does not respect borders. That is why international networking is indispensable in climate research. Ukraine, Finland, Brazil, Spain, USA, Israel, Scotland - IKEM has been working closely with renowned research institutions from all over the world since its foundation. This cooperation and the scientific exchange with our partners come together in our International Climate Law Network.
