Internship in the field of “Integrated Energy Systems” (With the possibility of writing a final thesis)
Über diesen Job
As Austria's largest research and technology organisation for applied research, we have set ourselves the goal of making substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitalisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.
Our Center for Energy located in Vienna invites applications for an internship. Our experts from the Competence Unit Integrated Energy Systems analyse the generation and integration of renewable energy sources and storage into the existing energy markets, the decarbonisation of district heating, industrial processes, and mobility as well as supporting greening the gas. The transformation and digitalisation of the energy system requires not only technological solutions, but above all the interaction of technical possibilities with the energy markets.
