IEEM
Institut für Umwelttechnik und Management
Institute for Environmental Engineering and Management
Science + Practice Technology + Management
The IEEM gGmbH - Institute for Environmental Engineering and Management combines the academic disciplines of "technology" (engineering) and "economics" to form an application-oriented science.
Application-oriented research
As an independent institute, our projects are exclusively funded by third parties. Our work is therefore practice-oriented and business-oriented.
Technology and economics as the main pillars of our work are prerequisites for the development of modern management methods and organizational structures with which technical and institutional concepts can be optimally designed and implemented in an efficiency-oriented manner. The aim of the institute is to develop and implement innovative technical and economic solutions to enable sustainable management and the protection of environmental environmental resources
Projects with international orientation
The IEEM focuses on the broad field of traditional urban water management - in close connection with applied environmental economics. Current projects of the institute deal, for example, with specific aspects of wastewater disinfection and decentralized water reuse, with the adaptation of integrated wastewater concepts to the conditions in other countries as well as overarching approaches to water management through adapted organizational models.
Studies in the field of tension of technology and management
On behalf of various funding bodies, such as the EU, various federal ministries, the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Environmental Foundation, the IEEM has been conducting scientific studies in the field of wastewater and waste technology for decades.
Examples of this include the "Water Guide" on the development of efficient water supply and wastewater disposal companies commissioned by the BMWA, the "Study on the international status and development of alternative water systems" for the BMBF and the research report "The water sector in Germany" commissioned by the Federal Environment Agency and BMU. In the area of environmental management, the "Inventory of instruments and effects of a sustainable water policy" commissioned by the BMBF and numerous cost-benefit analyses in the water sector should be mentioned.
