The EWI sees itself as a training institution – you’ll benefit from flat hierarchies and be given responsibility early on. A steep learning curve is guaranteed.
The EWI is a knowledge factory – you will quickly become familiar with current topics in the energy sector and build a broad knowledge base on energy markets and institutions in the energy economy.
You don’t have to choose between consulting and research – EWI offers both! This means you’ll gain experience advising clients in diverse consulting projects while also conducting in-depth research on energy-related topics over longer periods.
Learning on the job: At EWI, you will learn to prepare proposals, program and model, manage projects, write studies, and present results – all through hands-on experience.
In addition to the opportunity to pursue a doctorate, EWI offers numerous continuing education options. Our development program includes, among other things, presentation workshops, programming courses, and writing coaching.
Through direct contact with key decision-makers in the energy industry and politics, you’ll build a strong professional network within the energy sector.

We stand for practice-oriented, energy-economically sound, and agenda-neutral research, as well as top-tier consulting for public institutions, industry, and the general public.
What Does EWI Offer You After Graduation or Earning a Doctorate?
Arne Lilienkamp
Project Lead, M. Sc. Industrial Engineering (Aachen and Prague)
At EWI, Arne models virtual power plants, analyses the behaviour of e-car users and works on analyses and models supported by machine learning. “I particularly like the fact that people from different disciplines work at EWI,” says Arne. “It’s a challenging environment that allows for steep learning curves and where the solution to problems is often at the next desk.” In addition, Arne appreciates the open and sometimes cheeky culture, where even he, as an East Westphalian, feels very comfortable.
Polina Emelianova
Senior Research Associate, M.Sc.
Polina works on a variety of projects, ranging from studies for energy suppliers to research work for government ministries. Her main focus is on modelling and analysing electricity systems. ‘I particularly like the variety in my everyday work: the exchange of ideas in workshops, research projects and conferences, as well as working on my dissertation,’ says Polina. She also appreciates the team-work – the opportunity to learn from each other and the atmosphere at EWI, where she simply enjoys working.
Amir Ashour Novirdoust
Senior Research Associate, M. Sc. Economics (Köln)
Amir is an economist and works on various regulatory topics of the energy transition at EWI. His focus is on the analysis of the regulatory framework of the power markets and the power market design. In addition, Amir is working on the heat transition. “At EWI, I particularly like the fact that I can deal thematically with many areas of the energy system. Methodologically, I can always get involved if I want to try something new, too. Both of these things are very beneficial for my doctoral studies.” With his research, Amir contributes to the design of policies and strategies for a successful energy transition.
