The Departments of International Political Economy of East Asia and East Asian Politics are currently participating in Think Lab "Energie – Gesellschaft – Wandel (Energy-Society-Change)" a project series funded by Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft gGmbH (German Business Foundation) in cooperation with the innogy Foundation. Our project is entitled "Bridging Asia and Europe through energy". Starting January 2019, mixed research teams consisting of the departments' staff members and student volunteers will work on different energy related research topics concerning (East) Asian and European countries, in particular Germany.
The results will be presented in a series of events open to the public and jointly published in an edited volume. We invite motivated students in all stages of their studies to join one of our teams and experience the entire research process from the inception of the idea to a finished publication.
