Information
The motto of this year's Dortmund Science Conference is "The Future of Energy". Various stakeholders from Dortmund's science and business landscape as well as external experts are jointly designing the program, including four representatives from Fachhochschule Dortmund.
They all address the question: How must regions, cities and companies position themselves today in order to master the major challenge of the energy transition? The interdisciplinary contributions deal, among other things, with how science, cities and Business Studies can jointly develop solutions for a climate-neutral and at the same time secure and economical energy supply. The scientific competence field "Energy" in the Science Masterplan provides insights into application-oriented research projects.
