IKEM Research Academy

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.

IKEM Research Academy

Basic research, 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. With the Graduate School on Climate Law, we are providing new ideas for the training of lawyers.

Graduate school on climate law

The graduate school offers committed young researchers the opportunity to deal with fundamental methodological questions of legal design, to develop well-founded concepts for a coherent climate protection law and to provide critical support to current legislative processes.

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.

Since 2004, the IKEM Academy “Energy and Climate” provides a forum for young researchers, experts and interested parties from all over the world to discuss current issues in energy and  climate protection policy. 

The IKEM Academy was founded   2004   by Prof. Dr. Rodi and has been organized by the IKEM Sustainability and Innovation team ever since 

Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

On behalf of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), scientists from around the world compile the current status of climate research. IKEM also participates in the work of the IPCC, among other things by participating in the assessment reports.

IKEM presence at the COP climate conferences

The IKEM is involved in the climate conferences through its scientific work and organizes side events in order to exchange ideas with other research institutions, decision-makers and representatives of civil society.

Solidarity and cooperation with Ukraine

IKEM expresses its solidarity with Ukraine. Together with our strategic partner Becker Büttner Held, we collected around 75,000 euros, which will benefit our partner university in Kharkiv and other aid organizations. In addition, IKEM has expanded its collaboration with the Ukrainian research community. With the signing of further cooperation agreements, among others with the National Law University of Jaroslaw Mudry, the aim is to work together on projects and publications on the topics of environmental and climate law, energy efficiency, climate protection, and innovation.

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.
