Contents The Institute of Automation and Applied Informatics (IAI) conducts research and development in the field of innovative, application-oriented information, automation and system technology for sustainable energy systems. The IAI is also responsible for the scientific operation and ongoing development of the Energy Lab energy research infrastructure at KIT Campus North. As part of the ten-day lab course, students work in teams of two on one of several project topics derived from current research questions. The group of students typically goes through the following phases: Concept development/experiment preparation, implementation/experiment execution, evaluation/experiment analysis, presentation of results. A list of project topics will be made available in advance. Interested students can express their topic preferences, based on which the students are assigned to the respective project topics. The participants will work independently on the assigned project - supervision is provided by IAI research assistants. At the end of the lab course, the work must be documented and presented in the style of a scientific paper. Additionally, each participant or team reports (approx. 10 min presentation + 5 min questions) on the topic worked on. This appointment takes place at the end of the internship. The ten-day lab course begins with a joint kick-off event. This includes an organizational introduction, a tour of the Energy Lab and the Smart Energy System Simulation and Control Center (SEnSSiCC) and a brief presentation of all project topics. This is followed by the preparation phase (including an in-depth talk with your project manager) and the attendance phase. The course ends with a joint event at which the students present their solutions and work results in an examination presentation. Dates 05.04.2026 Upload of the project topics to the IAI page and the Campus-Plus portal Final presentations with grading: 31.07.2026 Deadline for handing in your paper Notes The courses are generally held in English. However, student presentations in German are possible. Quite often the topics are suitable for an extension into Master's thesis. The number of participants in the course is limited and varies according to the number of research projects available at the institute.
