Institutes
ECSM | European Centre for Sustainable Mobility
The European Center for Sustainable Mobility brings together researchers at FH Aachen from various areas of expertise such as energy supply, electromobility, digitalisation of mobility, AI-based sensor technology, urban and mobility planning, automation as well as vehicles and drives in road, rail and air transport to provide holistic research and development services in the field of sustainable mobility. Both commercial enterprises and public clients are making decisions for the future in this field, which require technical and scientific support based on sound expertise from a wide range of disciplines.
By founding this Institute, which is characterised by its interdisciplinary nature, FH Aachen has helped to meet current research needs. The Faculties of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics as well as Energy Technology are involved in the Institute.

IBB | Institute for Building Materials and Structures
The Institute for Building Materials and Structures (IBB) pools the expertise of structural engineering in the Faculty of Civil Engineering in the area of research and development. Through application-oriented research and numerous co-operations with industrial partners, new building materials and structures are developed and these new developments are incorporated into construction practice as quickly as possible.

ISBE | Institute Smart Building Engineering
In order to make digitalisation in the construction industry a success story, a clear commitment to fair, cooperative, transparent and partnership-based cooperation between all those involved in the construction process is required. The aim is to develop and implement integral, appropriate planning methods, tools and future-oriented technologies for 'smart' buildings and districts throughout the entire life cycle in an open dialogue with society.

ISCE | Institute of Smart City Engineering
In the face of diverse, often dynamic development processes, today's societies are faced with the challenge of shaping the future sustainably under great pressure to change. The complexity of the task areas requires an interdisciplinary approach: Research and analysis of key issues such as sustainability, climate change, demographic and economic developments, digitalisation and resource conservation, as well as their interactions with each other, are essential in order to develop solutions and assess the associated opportunities and risks in the overall context. Smart City stands for holistic development concepts in urban and rural settlement areas. The motivation for the ISCE is, among other things, to design efficient (multifunctional), technologically advanced andCO2-neutral settlement areas. Innovation must take place on a technical, economic and social level.
