The Department of Energy Technology carries out research and education within a broad field of Energy Technology, covering both Electrical, Thermal and Mechanical Energy.
The Department's research focuses on efficient energy production based on renewable energy sources and optimal use of energy for various purposes, hence also energy saving technologies.
The Department has approx. 250 students, 60 PhDs, more than 50 ongoing collaboration projects and approx. 50% of its turnover comes from external projects. (http://www.et.aau.dk/)
These new partnerships reinforces a strong cooperation with national and international research academic institutions and industrial companies and thus attract more researchers and potential partners from around the world.
