Alumni of Research Training Groups 1 to 3

From 2012 to 2015, doctoral students worked on 10 projects at the first Boysen TU Dresden Research Training Group under the titel "Sustainable energy systems - interdependence of technical designs and social acceptance".

In 2015, eleven doctoral students started their 3 years' work at the second Boysen TU Dresden Reserach Training Group under the title "Paths to environmentally friendly, secure and competitive energy systems: Technical feasibility and social impacts".

The expected change in mobility has become a complex and challenging topic in every respect. The accompanying changes raise scientific questions that penetrate deeply into our existing self-image as a society and into our everyday lives. For as comprehensive as the solutions offered by the new mobility systems are, they will radically change those things that seem self-evident today.

The third Boysen-TU Dresden-Research Training Group continued to explore this topic from 2019 to 2022 under the overarching theme "Mobility in Transition: Challenges and Solutions for Technology, the Environment and Societ". Within the scope of the doctoral projects, new mobility technologies and scenarios as well as the related questions were considered from different scientific perspectives. The 19 doctoral projects were divided into four scientifically delimited but thematically converging clusters. In this way, the transformation processes in the fields of traffic, environment, and society could be examined in a technically appropriate, perspectively diverse, and methodologically multifaceted manner and existing synergies could be exploited on a broad interdisciplinary basis.
