Annotation

In the Master's course "Decentralised Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency" (DEE) we train experts at Reutlingen's Energy Center for Decentralised Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency (REZ image film) for the power industry of tomorrow. The rapidly developing energy sector requires people who have new ideas and the courage to change, think beyond the borders, who want to and can implement innovations. In the DEE Master, the students develop and implement solutions for decentralised energy systems, they develop the tools to improve energy efficiency in a very practical way. This enables them to implement technically, economically, entrepreneurially and socially sensible projects and business models.
