Research Centre [Sustainability – Transformation – Transfer]
As a research center [Sustainability – Transformation – Transfer], we focus on application-oriented sustainability research. Our vision is to provide scientifically and practically applicable impetus for sustainable development in business, politics, and civil society. To this end, we want to create a visible point of contact for researchers and practitioners on a theoretical-conceptual and empirical-analytical basis in order to support transfer and transformation projects towards sustainability. We want to organize transfer spaces for exchange between practice and science on content-related, strategic, and normative issues of sustainable development. This includes inspiring interaction formats, practical projects and experiments, as well as empirical-analytical research on the implementation of sustainability transfer. Through our activities, we contribute to highlighting and harnessing the potential of sustainability transfer in teaching, research, and third mission at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. In this way, the research center supports the transfer strategy of the HNEE and strengthens the HNEE's research priorities:
1) Sustainable development of rural areas, 2) Sustainable production and use of natural resources, and 3) Sustainable management of limited resources.
Sustainable development does not happen in a test tube; it needs to be lived and tested. How do science and practice cooperate in this regard? How do they learn from and with each other, and how can this exchange be meaningfully promoted? The NTT Research Centre is investigating these topics using the concept of sustainability transfer.

Diskussionspapier-Reihe "Nachhaltigkeitstransformation & Nachhaltigkeitstransfer"
In close cooperation with the → HNEE University Library, the [NTT] Research Center launched its discussion paper series "Sustainability Transformation & Sustainability Transfer" in March 2022. The discussion paper series is a medium for the timely publication of current research results, practical reports, or theoretical and conceptual considerations relating to sustainability transformation and sustainability transfer. The series is aimed not only at established scientists, but also explicitly at young scientists and students. To ensure wide distribution and good visibility, the series is published under an open access license and each volume is assigned its own DOI. A peer review process ensures professional quality assurance.
