Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development

Shaping a sustainable future - together, holistically, resolutely

We see ourselves as a pioneer and driving force and sustainable development as a process that requires effective design methods as well as committed and well-trained people who identify potential companions and multipliers and set change processes in motion.

HNEE has clearly positioned itself in this regard with its renaming in 2010. Since its re-founding in 1992, the sustainability-focussed mission statement has provided a foundation for networked action in teaching, research, transfer and in shaping our culture of sustainability at HNEE.

We are an international university that is clearly committed to common European values. These include, in particular, freedom of science and research, equality of all people and respect for human dignity, regardless of origin, religion, social status, gender and sexual orientation. We value the diversity of our students and employees. In research, HNEE develops viable model solutions in many scientific disciplines. Always in close dialogue with practitioners so that the solutions become reality. Urgent questions about the future are being addressed at HNEE in more than 100 ongoing research projects - by the way: we are one of the strongest research universities in Germany. In real-world laboratories, we work together with our practice and cooperation partners on sustainable solutions.
