Solar-institute Jülich (SiJ)
– Studying first hand
Solar research at the Jülich campus of
the FH Aachen can look back upon a
long tradition. Based initially on research
and development projects beginning in
1988, the Solar-Institute Jülich was
created with the assistance of the
Working Committee Solar NRW (AG
Solar) in 1992 as the central scientific
organisation of the FH Aachen. At a
time of rising energy costs and climate
change, as well as decreasing availability
of raw materials, the institute’s goal is
becoming more and more important to
society: The development of applicationoriented
technical solutions in the renewable
and efficient use of energy for both
developed and developing countries.
This is in step with the university’s
philosophy of teaching and research
with a highly practical component.
New developments take place in direct
cooperation with industry, as well as
with national and international partners
at universities and research facilities.
As a result, professors from different
areas of the FH Aachen are involved in
this research, which transcends any one
discipline. Students are involved as well:
Alongside the SIJ’s specialist engineers
and experts, they develop solutions to
problems important to technical fields as
well as business.
As a prospective student, you have
the unique opportunity not only for theoretical
study, but also to benefit from an
up-close approach at the SIJ’s extensive
laboratory facilities. An example of this
was the SIJ’s significant involvement in
the initiation, construction and energy
surveying of the Solar-Campus Jülich.
