Our mission:

HuFoSS encourages innovative ecological, technical and socio-cultural activities and research for:

• strengthening our natural environment,
• the development of sustainable and, where feasible energy-neutral, concepts in the event of utilisation of our natural or built environment,
• ideas that have a socially reinforcing character.

There is no doubt that our natural environment is under pressure. The way in which we as people deal with our environment will have to be changed in the short term in order to cause not too great irreversible damage to our natural environment. To limit or even prevent this damage, HuFoSS will therefore only support innovative activities and research into the utilization or development of our environment if this is done in a sustainable and energy-neutral manner, in harmony with nature and society. To achieve that, HuFoSS will not follow the “beaten track”, but as a rule will opt for a forward-looking and innovative approach.

 Support for sustainable initiatives

HuFoSS supports sustainable initiatives in the field of:

• Conservation and restoration of natural and cultural landscapes and seascapes
• Management of protected areas, and prioritising management aspects of nature areas
• Use of ecosystem services that are in balance with the natural environment on land and at sea
• Involvement of stakeholders and local residents in activities and projects in the natural and/or built environment
• Building systems with an innovative character that have a positive effect on the well-being and social and cultural cohesion in society
• Energy-neutral building systems that are affordable for starters.
