Projects

With our research projects we want to enable conscious socio-ecological changes. We are concerned with processes of social transformation. By this we understand a qualitative change of systems and structures. Socio-ecological transformations include action, thinking and emotional understanding. To this end, we conduct transdisciplinary sustainability research at regional, national and international level. We work closely with partners in practice, civil society, administration and politics. We create knowledge about processes regarding social action. This way we promote and facilitate transformative changes.

We understand science as an activity: as direct intervention in practice and indirect support for practice by generating transformational knowledge. With our action research we use different social science methods to stimulate processes of change. Thus, we explore values, reflect on subjective perceptions, analyse structures and plan future courses of action together with actors from practice. This leads to new questions and areas of application. Thereby, we engage in different ways of collective learning and influence change.
