At the end of 2019, the interdisciplinary competence centre „Transformation for a Sustainable Future in South-East-Asia“ (TranSEA) was founded at Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. The competence centre is supported by the BMBF, through the DAAD HAW-International Program (Modul B). The competence centre is intended to promote the further development and expansion of academic partnerships in Southeast Asia and network the various activities and projects.

Academic partnerships have been maintained for years between HNEE Faculties I and IV and partners in Southeast Asia. Cooperation projects are ongoing with partner universities in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. By bringing together various activities and projects in the region, planned conceptual projects are conceived more strategically, synergies are created and inter-departmental cooperation with partner universities is established and expanded in a more targeted manner.
