In diesem Diskussionspapier werden die Forschungsansätze des Forschungszentrums dargelegt. Der Fokus richtet sich auf die Konzepte Nachhaltigkeit, Transformation und Transfer, die für seine Arbeit zentral sind. Mit diesem Diskussionspapier möchte das Forschungszentrum sein Ausgangsverständnis und seine Arbeitsweise transparent machen und sich als Kooperationspartner für Wissenschaft und Praxis positionieren.

For this purpose, a heuristically-derived concept of sustainability transfer is empirically tested with a mixed-methods approach based on the example of Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE). The empirical findings demonstrate that the realization of sustainability transfer depends mainly on the personal initiative of teachers and researchers. Major barriers are a lack of time and financial resources. The observed concept of sustainability transfer is applicable to all study and research areas of HNEE. Involvement in sustainability transfer can include the whole of society, from politics, enterprises, and civil society to education and research institutions. Overall, the empirical testing of the concept offered by this study illustrates its practical suitability to capturing specifically those sustainability transfer activities that are not tapped by third mission approaches. This opens up a novel dimension for transfer potential at universities and their role in regional sustainability transformation. It also highlights that the interdependencies between HEIs and practitioners need to be more contextualized with quality criteria such as the value of the transfer performance or level of ambition.
