This transfer field encompasses the provision of laboratories, workshops and equipment, libraries, archives and collections, as well as platforms, repositories, databases and data for users outside the academic sector or commercial users. It is crucial that the infrastructure in question has a specific unique selling point and is not commercially available. The aim is to make infrastructure available to users who would otherwise have no access to it, thereby contributing to value creation.
Research and transfer centers
The high-profile research centers reflect the main areas of focus at the Europa-Universität Flensburg.
- The Center for Education, Teaching, School, and Socialization Research (ZeBUSS) investigates school and extracurricular education and socialization processes using interdisciplinary, quantitative, and qualitative approaches.
- The Interdisciplinary Center for European Studies (ICES) brings together European research and analyzes the social, political, and cultural transformation processes of European integration from a social sciences and humanities perspective.
- The Center for Research on Sustainability and Transformation (CREST) conducts practical research on transformation and sustainability, combining approaches from the natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and humanities.
All centers promote research activities, young academics, and national and international networking at the EUF

eGon & reGon
Open and cross-sectoral planning of transmission and distribution grids. Driven by the expansion of renewable generation capacity and the progressing electrification of other energy sectors, the electrical grid increasingly faces new challenges.
Open Energy Platform
Open Energy Platform. Make your energy system modelling process transparent.
Klimafood bycycle kitchen
The bicycle kitchen is a kitchen unit mounted on a cargo bike trailer. The bicycle kitchen is powered by a gas system for two hotplates and includes a sink with a 10-liter fresh water canister and a 10-liter waste water canister.
