Legal, socio-economic & political research

The expertise of the Institute for Climate Protection, Energy and Mobility (IKEM), which was founded in November 2009 as an affiliated institute of the University of Greifswald, lies in the analysis, evaluation and further development of the legal, socio-economic and political framework for the three main research areas that give the institute its name. As an independent, non-profit organization, IKEM deals with key scientific issues on the path to a sustainable economic and social order. All projects are based on an interdisciplinary, integrative and international perspective. The central research topics of the IKEM are the expansion of renewable energies, sustainable energy networks, electromobility, increasing vehicle automation and related traffic and mobility topics, the implementation of climate protection targets and fundamental questions of energy supply, planning, resource protection and efficiency.
