History

The Institute for Regenerative Energy Technology (in.RET) was founded in 2008 and has been growing steadily in terms of staff and projects ever since. At the end of 2009, in.RET moved into its new offices and laboratories in Building 34, a partially listed building from 1956, following a complete refurbishment. 2.3 million was invested in the refurbishment by the state of Thuringia and ERDF funding.
As early as 2003, Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences was one of the first in Germany to offer a degree programme in regenerative energy technology, which continues today as a Bachelor's and Master's degree programme. The establishment of in.RET further strengthened the university's profile and promoted its competitiveness in research and teaching.
The in.RET works closely with companies and research institutions in Thuringia and beyond. Thanks to the financial support of the Free State of Thuringia, the institute was able to be realised.

The in.RET has two bodies: the Executive Board and the General Assembly.

Management Board

The Institute for Regenerative Energy Technology (in.RET) is managed by a collegial management committee consisting of professors and heads of department. The Executive Board, whose spokesperson Prof. Dr Viktor Wesselak manages day-to-day business, coordinates projects, allocates resources and prepares annual reports.
