The RLS graduate school was established in January 2020. Its interdisciplinary team conducts research in individual PhD projects on issues related to the energy system transition. The graduate school is located at the Reiner Lemoine Institute in Berlin-Adlershof. In our practical and applied research work, we are supported by a network of mentors.
The goal of the graduate school is to better understand systemic obstacles to the energy transition and to develop targeted solutions that will create the necessary conditions for an energy system with 100 % renewable energies. The PhD students therefore focus in particular on questions of flexibility, decentralisation, sector coupling and the social aspects of an energy system transition.

The students of the PhD group are supported by a number of mentors. These are experts who deal with the theoretical and practical facets of the energy system transition in the context of their respective work.
The PhD students are in dialogue with these actors, with the aim of contributing to applied research and solution-oriented energy policies.
