Knowledge Transfer at Europa-Universität Flensburg

For the Europa-Universität Flensburg, participatory, co-creative and inclusive knowledge transfer with stakeholders and partners from the fields of education, society, culture, business and politics is one of its three core tasks ("Third Mission"), alongside research and teaching.

Building on our university mission statement and our three profile areas – “Education & Schooling”, “Europe” and “Transformation & Sustainability” – we draw on a broad understanding of knowledge transfer that emphasizes our social responsibility, engagement and innovation within the city and region, as well as at interregional and international levels.

There is a wide range of transfer activities at our university. To categorize these and make them visible, accessible and usable for societal and business communities, we draw on the following knowledge transfer fields from the Transferbarometer, jointly developed by the Stifterverband and the Helmholtz Association.

Our fundamental expertise encompasses the educational sciences, economics, social sciences, humanities and social sciences as well as natural sciences and technology.

Our faculties

Our research focuses on education, interdisciplinary European studies and economic and environmental sciences with a focus on the interdisciplinary field of sustainable development and social transformation.
