The new HOCH-N guide for sustainable governance has been published and is now available online.

The Hoch^N team researching governance at Higher Education Institutions (HEI), led by the Free University of Berlin (Prof. Inka Bormann) and the University of Vechta (Marco Rieckmann), has published one of the six HOCH-N guides.

A beta-version of the guide "Sustainability Governance at Higher Education Institutions" has been published in 2018. Since then the guide has been reworked and further developed. The team analyses the five dimensions of governance: politics, profession, organization, knowledge, public in regards to their importance for the implementation of sustainability in the areas of education, research and management of Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The results of their work have been summarised in the guide 2020. The intention is to give an overview on the topic as well as suggestions on how this part of the transformation towards a sustainable HEI can be tackled.

The guide is available as PDF through the links below or at the website of the governce field of action.
