As a prestigious institute of the Humboldt University of Berlin, we have been dedicated to promoting sustainable development, particularly in rural areas of the Global South, for over 60 years. Our leading role in teaching, training and research in the field of international cooperation is motivated by our clear objective: to make a positive contribution to overcoming global challenges. We aim to positively influence and accelerate socially and ecologically sustainable transformation processes through well-founded empirical knowledge, cooperation with practical organizations and the training of future specialists and managers.
Transformation areas and fields of work
The content of STUDIUM, TRAINING and PROJECTS revolves around the three transformation areas of ecosystems and nutrition, socio-ecological management and governance, participation and peacebuilding. Each area is considered in a multi-level approach, as transformative development measures can only have a sustainable impact if they are anchored at all levels, bottom up and top down.
