IDUB research areas

  • Sustainable energy technologies, renewable sources of energy, energy storage, and resource management. Design, production, application, synergy, and process integration
  • New technologies for the circular economy: merging business models with ecoinnovations to improve productivity and minimise waste, as well as to create knowledge and use it
  • Technical solutions: from fundamental research, through modelling and design, to prototypes. The application of mathematical, information technology, and electronics tools to macro-, micro-, and nanoscale problems
