We work particularly closely with the Chair of Energy Systems of the Technical University of Munich and the Chair of Experimental Physics of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität of Würzburg. Moreover, we cooperate with a multitude of universities and research institutes, are a member of several associations, and contribute to various committees with our expertise. Finally, we bring our know-how to application with our industrial partners.
