Our Mission

The mission of ABBY-Net is to bring together researchers from Alberta, Canada and Bavaria, Germany who collaborate on interdisciplinary research and training for an improved understanding of the complex interactions in E³-Systems (Environment, Engineering and Socio-Economics) to facilitate energy systems transitions.

ABBY-Net undertakes:

international and interdisciplinary collaborative research projects
collaborative training of highly qualified personnel
regular summer schools held alternatingly in Bavaria and Alberta

ABBY-net core topics

Key research topics to facilitate energy transitions include:

Cleaner energy production, transportation, and storage
Impact of energy development on ecosystem processes
Effects of changing environmental conditions on energy systems
Advanced digital technologies in energy systems (research)
Societal, economic and governance implications
Interdisciplinary research designs

KEY RESEARCH APPROACHES

Key research approaches include:

New approaches to data analysis and artificial intelligence, including computer vision and machine learning
New strategies of data acquisition and remote sensing technologies, such as (autonomous) drones
Integrated modelling and evaluation systems designed for E³-Systems (Environment, Engineering and Socio-Economics)
