KLUGER Transfer - Climate - Environment - Health - Transfer

The KLUGER Transfer project stands for knowledge transfer in the fields of climate, environment and health research. The aim is to strengthen the transfer of knowledge from basic research at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) via applied research at the International Center for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) to the public, politics and business. Different formats for targeted exchange are being tested in order to improve communication between science, society and politics.

Life Cycle Assessment Grass Paper

One goal of bioeconomic research and consulting is to help ensure that existing fossil raw materials can be used more efficiently and substituted or supplemented with the highest possible proportion of renewable raw materials. The subject of the study on grass-based paper was the comparative life cycle assessment (according to ISO 14040) of the use of sulfate pulp, recycled pulp and grass-based pulp in the German paper industry. The LCA addressed the question of the extent to which the production of paper in Germany can be made more ecologically advantageous.

Sustainability assessment of participatory production concepts and development of a qualitative assessment tool based on satisfaction

Doing business sustainably, measuring this and communicating about it is becoming increasingly important - regardless of the size of a company or business. Entrepreneurial/operational and social sustainability are equally important. In an agricultural business, planning security and development opportunities are key parameters, whereas for consumers and other stakeholders, ecology and social issues are of particular importance.

Green Economy - Climate and Biodiversity Protection and Education for Sustainable Development for Economic Prosperity

The creation and improvement of educational opportunities is essential for the sustainable development of a region. The implementation requires the cooperation of academic as well as non-academic educational institutions. A four-day symposium on this topic was held in October 2021 as a platform for dialogue in Sardinia, a hotspot of biological diversity. Prof. Dr. Wiltrud Terlau from the International Center for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) is hosting it together with the University of Sassari (UNISS) and other partners.

Vehicle based photovoltaic system for energy efficiency and cost saving

The project is based on the idea of a quick retrofit for conventional cars and buses, in order to reduce fuel consumption, related costs and CO2 emissions by using photovoltaic panels on the roof which are connected to the existing vehicle power supply network. This reduces the load on the alternator and leads to a reduction in fuel consumption. Tasks The main task of this project is to find out if the suggested PV system is fitting sustainability criteria, if it is applicable, effective and profitable.

International Workshop: “Measuring the social, economic and political effects of social protection: How to overcome the challenges?"

The international workshop "Measuring the social, economic and political effects of social protection: How to overcome the challenges?" brings together policy makers and experts from academia, development practitioners and public administrators to discuss methodological, operational and strategic challenges of measuring the effectiveness of policy interventions and to develop solutions.

International Policy Learning and Policy Change: Scientific Inputs for the Dialogue on Social Protection with Global Partners

The research project investigates determinants of international policy diffusion as well as the role of transgovernmental policy networks for policy change in the field of social protection in developing and emerging countries. Research Approach Policy diffusion and policy transfer are research programs that deal with the international spread of policies. Different mechanisms, among them policy learning, have been identified by related research to explain policy diffusion.

Global Partnership - North Rhine-Westphalia for International Sustainable Development

Against the backdrop of the concretization of the 2030 Agenda adopted in September and the universally applicable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) anchored therein, solution strategies for the greater intensification of interdisciplinary cooperation between different scientific disciplines and the necessary internationalization of research will be developed in a dialogue between representatives of development and sustainability research, research policy and research funding institutions.

SHPIG - Social and Health Policies for Inclusive Growth

Social protection is increasingly seen as a relevant tool for bringing about inclusive growth. This is in line with the broader idea of comprehensive development, which considers social inequality and sustainability issues as priority concerns, and reflects a significant shift in perspective. Good health is an important component of comprehensive growth. Poverty and ill health are highly correlated and mutually reinforcing: high direct and indirect costs of access to treatment lead to poverty or exacerbate existing poverty.

e-H@C HUPAction - Pilot project for crisis management and communication

In the e-H@C HUPAction project, a system is being developed and tested to improve the cross-border exchange of information between authorities and companies in the vegetable value chain, using the Euregio Rhine-Waal as an example. The focus is on the rapid detection and monitoring of health risks and the control of hazards posed by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) bacteria.
