They show us opportunities, they help us to define our own\ngoals and we can learn from their experiences. In our\nblog series #DigiWomenKA, Katharina Iyen meets such a role\nmodel from the Karlsruhe digital industry once a month to find out more about them, their experiences and\ntheir commitment.   Today she talks to Dr. Heike Brugger,  <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isi.fraunhofer.de\/de\/competence-center\/energiepolitik-energiemaerkte\/mitarbeiter\/brugger.html\">Head of the Energy Policy business unit in the Competence Center\nEnergy Policy and Energy Markets at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and\nInnovation Research ISI<\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I meet Heike Brugger and her\nloving four-legged friend at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isi.fraunhofer.de\/de\/competence-center\/energiepolitik-energiemaerkte\/projekte\/newtrends.html\">Fraunhofer Institute\nfor Systems and Innovation Research ISI<\/a> in the Technology Park in Rintheim. The institute&#8217;s\nrooms are bright and open, resembling a coworking\nspace: lots of natural light, a loft-like atmosphere, colorful paintings and\ngreen plants characterize the place. Behind glass office walls, I can see some of the researchers working standing up on large\nscreens. Heike&#8217;s cute dog Bascha fits\nperfectly into this relaxed atmosphere. In the open kitchen, the\nscientist makes me a cup of tea, we are immediately on first-name terms and the atmosphere\nbetween us is very relaxed. I immediately like Brugger because she\nis easy-going and her open laugh makes her seem very warm.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I&#8217;m really curious about the person I&#8217;m talking to and eager to find out more. Heike Brugger was born and grew up on Lake Constance. Her father, like her grandfather, is a tax consultant. Both come from the Lake Constance region, while their mother, a librarian, moved here from the Rhineland. Despite his mother&#8217;s exile, Brugger&#8217;s Rhenish cheerful nature is clearly evident. But her father doesn&#8217;t necessarily fit the stereotype of a tax consultant either, as she reports: &#8220;Before I was born, my father hitchhiked to Algeria and my mother drove through Afghanistan in a VW bus.&#8221; She seems to have been born with a thirst for exploration and openness.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are also evident in her training\n. Heike Brugger originally studied to become a teacher for\nmath and physics at the University of Konstanz. &#8220;Mathematics always\naccompanied me, the logical thinking, asking questions and learning about it,&#8221;\nshe recalls. But combining science with math and politics also\nappealed to her. This interest eventually led her to make math and politics\nher main subjects, with physics as a minor. &#8220;A broad field,\nin which I can combine my different interests, was important to me\n, which is why I wrote my final thesis on energy policy,&#8221;\nadds the natural scientist. The state examination was followed by a doctorate\nin political and administrative science with a scholarship from the\nHeinrich B\u00f6ll Foundation. In 2018, her work and research interests finally took her\nfrom Lake Constance to the fan-shaped city, where she is a senior researcher at the\nFraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI and has been head of the Energy Policy business unit since March\n2021.         <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1.png\" alt=\"DigiWomen Heike Brugger in conversation with Katharina Iyen.

When I point out to her\nthat Karlsruhe&#8217;s surrounding area with its bathing lakes and the Alb mountains\nalso has plenty of water to offer, she waves it off: &#8220;I&#8217;m very involved.\nAlthough I often hear how beautiful Karlsruhe&#8217;s surroundings are, I rarely\nget out of the city center. Since last year, however, I&#8217;ve had a garden in\nPfinztal and I really hope that this will gradually change.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now I&#8217;m naturally curious\nand would like to know more about what Brugger is so busy with.\nThe answer is impressive: Brugger regularly talks about the energy requirements of social media, streaming services and data centers in lectures, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swr.de\/swr2\/wissen\/wie-wir-im-haushalt-strom-und-gas-sparen-energie-effizient-nutzen-1-3-100.html\">radio shows<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wirundheute.de\/media\/podcasts\/2022\/10\/20221101_Emma_Social_Media_und_Klimawandel_3.mp3\">podcasts<\/a>, for example\n. With\nher current research project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isi.fraunhofer.de\/de\/competence-center\/energiepolitik-energiemaerkte\/projekte\/newtrends.html\">newTRENDs<\/a>, she is investigating\nat European level how new social trends will influence the energy demand\nof the future. This is intended to improve the management of such trends by political decision-makers in line with the Paris\nAgreement and the long-term climate and energy goals of the European\nUnion. &#8220;Our\nresearch is about understanding what influences future energy demand\n, including what increased digitalization will mean for\nenergy demand.&#8221;     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She cites the sensible\nuse of waste heat from data centers as an example: &#8220;We ask ourselves: What standards\nmust data centers meet? What requirements can and must we place on\nthem? But also the question of how we can use machine learning and working with\nlarge amounts of data to improve our own work.&#8221; Her\ninstitute advises the European Commission, among others, in negotiations on\nnew directives for energy efficiency. &#8220;We do the balancing act between\nbasic research and policy advice. One of the research focuses\nis on energy demand from private households, trade, commerce and\nservices. Another research focus is on how we can shape the\ntransition to a digital, sustainable world in a socially just way.&#8221;       <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/7-1.png\" alt=\"Katharina Iyen visits Heike Brugger at the Fraunhofer Institute ISI in Karlsruhe and is impressed by the atmosphere.

Photo: Heike Brugger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-energiewende-eine-soziale-frage\">Energy transition: A social issue<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers can see how much electricity or gas they consume each day in real time\n, and the technologies are available for this\n. Although they are mature, they are being blocked by lobbying\nfrom the energy industry. &#8220;As far as our energy consumption is concerned,\nwe are all somehow flying blind. A year later you get the\nbill from the previous year?    This is no longer in keeping with the times and lacks transparency. The fact that\nI don&#8217;t have access to my own consumption data is the fatal thing about\nthe situation and must change,&#8221; explains Brugger. Data plays a central role in this\n. &#8220;Among other things, we need a much stronger right to\nour data, so that we can see at much shorter intervals what our\nenergy consumption is and what behavior has what effect. This empowers us as\nconsumers.&#8221;    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ties in with a central theme\nof her work. The social issue of the energy transition, because key questions of social justice are linked to this\nindispensable necessity.\n&#8220;We cannot say that we are now making policies to reduce energy consumption\nwithout really looking at what affects which\npopulation groups and who consumes what.&#8221; With her work,\nshe wants to contribute to shaping the energy transition in an inclusive way. A sustainable\ndesign of life and everyday life should not be a privilege for the few. Her\ndrive is to create the energy transition for everyone. And she means this\nliterally: &#8220;But that also means taking SUV drivers with us.&#8221;    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starken-und-schwachen\">Strengths and weaknesses<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to know where the daughter of a tax consultant and a librarian, a woman with an academic family background, derives her strong interest in social justice. She explains this with her life&#8217;s journey. &#8220;After graduating from high school, I went to Ghana for eight months to do voluntary service &#8211; and returned pregnant. I was in shock at first, and at the age of 18 it threw my plans into disarray. &#8220;However, she received a lot of support from her family. This helped her to pursue her career.  &#8220;I knew that motherhood would not mean giving up my ambitions. I am very grateful to my parents for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/karlsruhe.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-1.png\" alt=\"Heike Brugger has an interesting life story that has sensitized her to a responsible leadership role in which she promotes female colleagues in particular.

Photo: Heike Brugger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is also grateful that her family provided her with a safe space that shielded her from negative reactions. &#8220;Today I am more stable, but back then I would have been very affected and I don&#8217;t know how it would have affected me.&#8221; Of course, such an experience leaves its mark. I would like to know how Brugger was shaped by these experiences, what strengths she was able to develop through her experiences.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a moment&#8217;s thought, she explains with a smile: &#8220;Networking and networked thinking, making connections and creating synergies are definitely strengths.&#8221; She is also particularly proud of her degree, her doctorate and her career at the Fraunhofer Institute. Especially because she has been a single mother since her daughter was three years old. &#8220;I get a lot of appreciation from my team and doctoral students. They feel that their concerns are seen by me. That is very important to me and makes me happy.&#8221; However, Brugger still sees room for improvement when it comes to time management. She often miscalculates and takes longer than expected. &#8220;I blame it on being too optimistic &#8211; I always plan for the best-case scenario,&#8221; she adds.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-attraktivitat-von-mint-berufe-fur-frauen-steigern\">Increase the attractiveness of STEM professions for women\n<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to come back to the topic of the single mother\n. Because it seems to me that\nBrugger really does occupy a special position. Women are still significantly underrepresented in\nSTEM-related professions anyway. I\nwould like to know how she thinks STEM professions can be made more accessible to\nwomen. She names\nvisibility and promotion as the key factors. &#8220;Despite many people in my\nenvironment, bosses and colleagues who supported me, it was rarely\nthe case that I was really proactively offered a new role.&#8221; Her\ndoctoral supervisor assumed that she wouldn&#8217;t be able to do a doctorate\nwith a state examination anyway.      That&#8217;s why he didn&#8217;t even think to ask his student about it. &#8220;When I asked\nabout it, he first realized that I had also studied math and\nphysics and therefore had valuable interdisciplinary knowledge\n.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She fears that women could miss out on important opportunities because male colleagues often take precedence if they do not put themselves on the radar of their superiors. However, this is not expedient and is actually the task of the manager. She would therefore like to set a good example in her position and handle this more sensitively: &#8220;I&#8217;m paying more attention to actively approaching women, making offers and suggestions, even &#8211; or especially &#8211; when male colleagues simply want to grab one or two opportunities. And of course I encourage women to put themselves forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cover photo: Heike Brugger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Katharina Iyen Female role models are important.
