No sustainable management without the groundwork: research and teaching have a permanent place at EUREF-Campus.
With the Technical University Berlin, university-level teaching is provided for, and a number of research institutes are dedicated to the subject of sustainability. While learning, students benefit from the facilities at EUREF-Campus. At an early stage, they can establish contact with the companies and research institutions located here.
Since its founding in 2008, TU-Campus EUREF gGmbH, an associated institute of the Technische Universität Berlin, has been a European teaching, research and consulting facility connected across disciplines in the fields of the environment, climate, energy and mobility. In terms of content, the institute focuses on the society-based transformation process from fossil energy concepts to concepts based on regenerative energy. The research concentrates on the socio-technical implications of the shift to renewable energy and issues regarding the social acceptance of technological innovations.
At EUREF-Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg, in addition to further education Masters programmes, there are offers of research and consulting services and conferences as well as training and further education events for various target groups.
Since the 2012/2013 winter semester, Technische Universität Berlin at EUREF-Campus has been offering further education Masters programmes (Master of Business Administration, MBA, and Master of Business Law, MBL) on subjects relating to “city and energy”. The internationally recognized Masters programmes are modularly and interdisciplinarily structured and train tomorrow’s professionals and executives. They target students and young working people with an initial academic degree (Bachelors, “Magister”, diploma) in the areas of energy, construction, architecture, transport, technology, business and law. Another prerequisite is at least one year of professional experience following graduation.
The English-language further education Masters programmes “Energy Management” and “Building Sustainability – Management Methods for Energy Efficiency”, “European and International Energy Law” and “Sustainable Mobility Management” are being offered at present.
Please visit the department’s website www.master-in-energy.com for all the latest information including the start of new programmes and the corresponding calls for applications and application deadlines.

Mobility2Grid Research Campus
The electrification of transport is a unique opportunity to jointly research energy and transport systems and make use of synergies. The Mobility2Grid Research Campus researches and implements innovative solutions in order to ensure that the provision of electricity, heat and transport remains affordable, safe and completely based on renewable energies in the long term. For example, testing and research were carried out for the M2G charging station for electric buses, which was opened in 2018 and is integrated in the smart grid of EUREF-Campus.
Main focuses of research
Subject areas
With Mobility2Grid, the potentials of electric mobility as a core element of integrated energy provision are verified. Challenges and opportunities for the implementation of decentralized grid structures to other districts and areals are generalized and thus made transferable. According to one initial hypothesis, this makes it possible to not only implement the targets of the shift to renewable energy, but also to recognize the framework conditions for feasible operation of electric on-road vehicles in commercial and private usage contexts. At the same time, societal aspects of this transformation are examined and any training or further education concepts which become necessary are developed and tested.
These content-based focuses of the Mobility2Grid Forschungscampus are reflected in seven subject areas:

Innovative storage solutions at EUREF-Campus
Managing the challenges of the energy revolution will require the development of technological solutions which incorporate a growing proportion of renewable energies. This is precisely the aim of WindNODE, a joint project involving all five eastern German states and the capital Berlin, together with more than 70 partners. Ready-to-use, market-viable technologies are tested here using individual projects. In addition to energy suppliers, distribution network operators and high-tech specialists, amongst others, several of the region’s universities and research institutes are actively involved in individual projects within the scope of WindNODE.
EUREF-Campus has also been part of this with energy projects of its own, implementing the projects “power-to-heat/power-to-cold” (water storage) and “power-to-power” (batteries). The technology for this was developed by GASAG Solution Plus. Stromnetz Berlin, BLS Energieplan and EUREF-Consulting are additional project partners. The power-to-heat/power-to-cold system consists of two storage elements each with 22 m³ of capacity as well as an electric heater with 500 kW of output. The system uses surplus electricity to heat water, which can then be fed into the EUREF-Campus heating network as required. A connection to two compressor chillers makes it possible to use the cold water supply according to the same principle. This ensures that surplus electricity can be stored during summer operation as well. A connection is provided to a biomethane combined heat and power plant, which kicks in if the mains voltage is too low. An ORC system converts any waste heat back into electricity, and compressor chillers make it available for cooling. This enables the efficient use of renewable energy which takes local conditions into account and, above all, focuses on the needs of the consumer.
