Kompetenzinitiative e.V. is a scientific initiative focused on reducing exposure to mobile phone and other radiofrequency radiation and promoting what it describes as a “Funkwende,” or transition toward lower-radiation technologies. The organization raises concerns about potential health and environmental effects of wireless devices and infrastructure, including smartphones, Wi-Fi, mobile networks, Bluetooth devices and transmitters. It advocates stricter exposure limits, more independently verified research and stronger health-protection legislation, while acknowledging that scientific debate on the topic is ongoing and findings are not uniform.

The initiative shares information through publications, podcasts, events, frequently asked questions and research materials. Its website covers subjects such as electromagnetic fields and living organisms, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, possible effects on children, plants and animals, and alternatives including Li-Fi. It also presents findings from its ATHEM-3 study and discusses the relationship between science, risk and policy. Kompetenzinitiative e.V. features contributors from scientific and medical backgrounds and invites people to learn about its work, become members or make donations.
