We research on
energy solutions
for the future
The interdisciplinary Research Center Future Energy Materials and Systems (RC FEMS) aims to develop new, urgently needed materials for future-proof, sustainable energy systems. To this end, RC FEMS occupies essential interfaces between established focus topics. This enables a holistic approach, combining strong interdisciplinary expertise and scientific creativity to make a decisive contribution to the future of energy, built on new materials.
