Hochschule Esslingen

Esslingen University of Applied Sciences' vision of being an outstanding educational centre and innovative driving force for technology, business and social issues and their interaction reflects our aspiration. We live up to this claim by providing the best possible education for our approx. 6,300 students in 6 faculties, through close networking with regional research institutions and companies and by focussing on 3 application- and future-oriented research areas.

One of these three focal points - sustainable energy technology and mobility - has been driven forward by cross-faculty research projects at the research institute of the same name, INEM (Institute for Sustainable Energy Technology and Mobility), since 2012 - a current example of this is our GEFION project, in which INEM is involved with the Faculties of Business and Engineering and Computer Science and Information Technology.

The GEFION project represents an outstanding opportunity for us to conduct application-orientated research in the area of the INEM topic cluster ‘Resource Efficiency and Sustainability’ and to give new impetus to sustainable construction, true to the claim of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences: Close to people and technology!
