The Rectorate of the Technical University of Leoben has set itself the goal of coordinating and intensifying research in the field of energy in the form of a Cluster of Excellence in Energy in order to meet the challenges of the urgently needed transformation of the energy system.

The aim is therefore to expand the energy research department at MUL. Dissertations awarded by the rectorate are intended to have a multiplier effect, leading to further new dissertations and visible growth in the field of energy. The department is coordinated by the Energy Cluster of Excellence.
