The co-operation takes place closely with CENTOS, the Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research at the University of Oldenburg, which has been focusing on sustainability research for many years.

CENTOS is part of the COAST scientific centre. This centre brings together various institutions at the University of Oldenburg in the field of sustainability.

There is an equally close connection in terms of content and research analysis to the WiZeGG (Wissenschaftliches Zentrum zur Erforschung der Genealogie der Gegenwart), which is dedicated to the historical-praxeologically guided analysis of cultural forms of social self-problematisation. The problem of sustainability is to be understood as just such a social self-problematisation.

The Evangelisches Studienwerk Villigst e.V. is also part of the cooperation network.

Prof Niels Åkerstrøm-Andersen from the Copenhagen Business School and his working group have been researching the social effects of political control attempts for a long time, particularly in the case of public-private partnerships. Prof Åkerstrøm is also in contact with the CBS sustainability platform.

Prof Dr Alfons Bora from Bielefeld University is an expert in the field of technology assessment and a member of the German Ethics Council. In his writings on innovation regulation, he addresses central paradoxes that are also relevant to the field of sustainability.

Prof Dr David Kaldewey from the University of Bonn researches the relationship between (theoretical) science and social practice; his expertise is relevant for the genealogical study, concept development and reflection of the overall project. In addition, David Kaldewey is in contact with the Mercator Foundation, which supports his chair and can be activated as a further multiplier.

Prof Elisabeth Shove is a sociologist. Her research focus is praxeological sustainability research, i.e. research into changes in social practices and their impact on energy consumption and climate change.

Isinova / Prof. Dr Jana Rückert-John / Dr René John conduct research in the field of sustainability, including studies for the Federal Environment Agency, currently with a paper on social innovation and sustainability. Isinova also serves as a networking platform.
