"Real laboratories of the energy transition" - energy-optimized quarters
Project duration: 01/01/2022 – 12/31/2026
short description
The research and transfer project JenErgieReal sees itself as a blueprint for the future holistic supply of electrical and thermal energy and the integration of mobility as a link.
The main drivers of energy consumption in transport, industry, commerce and housing are considered across sectors and the implementation is scientifically accompanied in an exemplary large-scale project.
The overall goal of JenErgieReal is the demonstration of sector coupling through innovative power plant structures for the realization of an affordable energy transition. The central topics of the JenErgieReal project focus on grid utility and aim at grid stabilization without grid expansion. Measures that make this possible include load peak smoothing, load control, also from the upstream network, and reduced feed-in.
In the various work topics, solutions for future quarters from the end consumer to the producer are developed and implemented. Regulatory learning plays an important role in this.
The results will be demonstrated as a real laboratory in the city of Jena.

CLiK Bridge: Innovative teaching, research and university management for sustainable German-Ukrainian cooperation and reconstruction of Ukraine
Sub-project: Development and implementation of the Microcredential program Entrepreneurship - Managing Start-Ups and Innovation.
Target group: MINT- and especially physics students
Project duration: July 2025 – June 2029
Description
As part of this sub-project, the Microcredential Entrepreneurship program – Managing Start-Ups and Innovation – is being developed and offered to STEM students from Ukrainian universities and Chemnitz University of Technology. The participating students explore all aspects of self-employment and starting a business. This includes, among other things, idea generation and evaluation, business plan creation, social entrepreneurship, innovation management, financing a start-up, and the management of start-ups and SMEs. Upon successful completion of the module, students are able to generate business ideas, develop business models and a financial plan, create a marketing concept, and evaluate their own business ideas.
