The University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin) has appointed Dr. Kathrin Goldammer as an honorary professor. From summer semester 2025, the electrical engineer and Managing Director of the Reiner Lemoine Institute will become a professor at HTW Berlin in Faculty 1 Engineering – Energy and Information.
Dr. Kathrin Goldammer complements the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Renewable Energy with many years of practical experience in the energy industry and expertise in applied energy research. Goldammer has been teaching as a lecturer at HTW Berlin since 2023 on economic aspects of the use of renewable energy.
"As a university, we are pleased that we have been able to appoint Ms. Goldammer, a proven expert in this future-relevant field, as an honorary professor at HTW Berlin. The challenges of a climate-friendly energy supply for our country can thus be examined even more strongly from the practical side of our students' education. Personally, I appreciate that with this appointment we can offer our students another role model of a successful female engineer with start-up and management experience," says Prof. Dr. Annabella Rauscher-Scheibe, President of HTW Berlin.
Goldammer's professorship focuses on the energy and electricity industry, energy policy and the social framework for the use of renewable energy.
"The HTW is a modern university that teaches exactly the right content for the future in all aspects of energy technology, namely: How do energy systems with ever higher shares of renewable energies work? What is needed to integrate renewable energy and hydrogen into the electricity and gas grids? And which technologies are climate-friendly and economically sensible – and how is it calculated? I would like to contribute to these topics and train the students to become engineers who can actively shape the energy system of the future," says Dr. Kathrin Goldammer.
Communicating the energy transition in a practical way
Goldammer attaches great importance to problem-oriented learning. The electrical engineer and doctor of physics teaches her students on the basis of clear practical cases and concrete questions about the energy industry: How does a business model around renewable energies come about or how can energy generation plants be built profitably? Another focus is on energy policy and regulation: What framework conditions apply to the use and distribution of electricity and other energy sources in the liberalised energy market and what effects do they have on the design of the energy system? With these and other questions, Goldammer makes the field of energy technology and energy economics accessible to her students. In doing so, it relies on cooperative and interactive learning formats and looks beyond the horizon of classical engineering sciences with the students.
Scientist, expert and founder
Since 2016, Goldammer has been Managing Director of the Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI) in Berlin Adlershof. Responsible for the strategic orientation and technical management there, she is very familiar with the framework conditions of practical and application-oriented energy research. In 2018, she also founded the company Localiser RLI GmbH, an IT start-up that develops software for charging infrastructure planning for electromobility and for the hydrogen ramp-up. Previously, she worked in the energy industry and in energy policy. Goldammer will remain Managing Director of RLI and will also take on various honorary positions: Among other things, she is the spokesperson for the Berlin-Brandenburg Energy Technology Cluster, a member of the Berlin Climate Protection Council and the German-Japanese Energy Transition Council. She is also part of the founding team of the international network Women in Green Hydrogen.
About HTW Berlin: With 14,500 students and 80 degree programmes in the fields of technology, computer science, economics, law, culture and design, HTW Berlin is Berlin's largest university of applied sciences. It stands for a challenging course of study, qualified graduates and practice-oriented research. The range of subjects ranges from classic disciplines such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering and business administration to courses of study such as renewable energies, game design, professional IT business, business communication or museology. Students benefit from small groups, excellent company contacts and the more than 100 laboratories, workshops and studios on campus. An internship semester is compulsory, as is a foreign language. In the current ranking of German newspaper WirtschaftsWoche, HTW Berlin occupies top positions in Germany in all fields of study surveyed.
About RLI: The Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI) is an independent, non-profit research institute that has been committed to a future with 100 percent renewable energy since 2010. In the three research units Transformation of Energy Systems, Mobility with Renewable Energy and Off-Grid Systems, RLI scientists work in an application-oriented and scientific manner for the energy and transport transition in Germany and internationally. Since its foundation, the open-source models developed at the institute have become firmly established in energy system modeling. RLI's mobility and electrification concepts are implemented by companies and the public sector worldwide.
