The Wiki compiles results from the former HOCH-N project as well as current activities of DG HochN. Its goal is to preserve and share knowledge and to make it available to everyone engaged in sustainable development at universities.

Thus, the Wiki serves as a living knowledge base that fosters cooperation and exchange in the field of sustainability in higher education.
Who is DG HochN?
The German Society for Sustainability at Higher Education Institutions (DG HochN) is a non-profit association that promotes sustainable development at and through universities in Germany. It emerged from the “HOCH-N – Universities for Sustainable Development” project, which was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) from 2016 to 2021. DG HochN connects committed individuals and institutions across teaching, research, administration, and operations, supporting collaboration, mutual learning, and the transformation toward a more sustainable higher education system.
