IKEM Research Academy
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.

Ralph Henger, Sibylle Braungardt, Jana Karras, Benjamin Köhler, Greta ReehSchweden als Vorbild zur Überwindung des Vermieter-Mieter-Dilemmas – (Teil-)warmmieten oder Reform der Modernisierungsumlage?Kopernikus-Projekt Ariadne, Potsdam. 2023. Das Mietrecht ist nach heutigem Stand nicht auf die Anforderungen der Energiewende vorbereitet. Insbesondere die Modernisierungsumlage nach § 559 BGB wird bei aktueller Ausgestaltung nicht ihrem Anspruch gerecht, einen fairen Interessensausgleich zwischen Vermietenden und Mietenden zu gewährleisten. Für Vermietende kann die Modernisierungsumlage in der Praxis einen hohen Verwaltungsaufwand mit sich bringen. Gleichzeitig schützt die Modernisierungsumlage aufgrund ihrer Bemessung an den Kosten die Mietenden nicht vor deutlichen Mieterhöhungen. Die Modernisierungsumlage wirkt daher als Investitionshemmnis auf dem Weg zu einem klimaneutralen Gebäudebestand. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Teilwarmmietenkonzepte zwar aus klimaschutz- und sozialpolitischer Sicht grundsätzlich sinnvoll sind, aber aufgrund ihrer großen Komplexität kaum praxistauglich umgesetzt werden können. Zudem zeigt der Beitrag auf, dass mit Hilfe einer „energetischen“ Modernisierungsumlage die Anreize für Investitionen in Effizienzmaßnahmen im Gebäudebestand verbessert werden können, wenn die Anrechnung von Fördermitteln bei der umlegbaren Investitionssumme wegfällt. Der Schutz der Mietenden vor hohen Mehrbelastungen ist möglich, wenn neben der Absenkung des Umlagesatzes auch Kappungsgrenzen festgelegt werden. |

IKEMPreliminary Technical StudyRoadmap for a climate-neutral, sustainable Ukrainian energy sector and its role in an integrated EU energy market. 2023. This publication aims to account for the current situation in Ukraine’s energy system and to chart a course towards a prosperous, modern, and innovative future for the country. This study is subdivided into four sections: a description of Ukraine’s current energy system, a catalogue of future energy pillars which will foster and enable a thriving and dynamic future, a comparative cost-benefit analysis of various types of electricity, and a section presenting the results of an expert survey that was carried out as part of the Energy Roadmap project. The study is part of a triptych of preliminary studies – technical, financial, and legal – that make up the first stage of the Ukraine Energy Roadmap offered by the Europe-Ukraine Energy Transition Hub. A fourth text presenting the joint conclusions and recommendations from the three studies is published in parallel. |

IKEMConclusions and RecommendationsRoadmap for a climate-neutral, sustainable Ukrainian energy sector and its role in an integrated EU energy market. 2023. Postwar reconstruction in Ukraine will be a long and arduous process. The Ukraine Energy Roadmap, offered by the Europe-Ukraine Energy Transition Hub, analyzed the technical, financial, and legal aspects of this challenge; the detailed results are described in the corresponding three studies. This document summarizes these studies and provides recommendations across six major themes relevant to the energy transition. |
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.
