HNEE
Hochschule für Nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde — Policies and Markets Group
The Eberswalde campus has been committed to sustainable research and teaching for over 180 years: The University of Applied Sciences for Sustainable Development Eberswalde (HNEE) was founded in 1830 as the Forestry Academy. Since the traditional forestry and timber research campus near Berlin reopened its doors in 1992, the university has focused on forward-looking industries and key sectors such as renewable energy, regional management, sustainable tourism, conservation, forestry, organic farming, adaptation to climate change or sustainable economics.
The Utopia Internet portal pronounced HNE Eberswalde Germany’s greenest university in 2009. In 2010 and 2017, the university won the European EMAS Award for its exemplary environment management.
