INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES EBERSWALDE (UASE) In Eberswalde, there is a strong linkage between traditions and the challenges of the present. Since 1830, Eberswalde belongs to the most significant centres of forestry research and education in Germany. Then, from 1830 to 1963, professional forestry training was carried out at this location. After the reunification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, teaching and doing research work in the sector of forestry was re-established in 1992 by founding the University of Applied Sciences of Eberswalde (HNEE). In March 2010, the Fachhochschule Eberswalde changed its name and is now called Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde (FH) which means in English: Eberswalde University for sustainable Development (FH). It remains a University of Applied Sciences. The head of the Eberswalde University is called “President”, his name is Prof. Dr. Wilhelm-Günther Vahrson. The head of the Administration is called “Chancellor”, his name is Claas Cordes. The four faculties are located on two sites, the City Campus and the Forest Campus. On the City Campus, you can find the buildings of the Faculty of Economics, Landscape Management and Nature Conservation and the University Administration. It is located in the city centre between Friedrich– Ebert–Straße and Schicklerstraße. On the Forest Campus you can find the Faculties of Forest and Environment as well as Wood Science and Technology. It is located in the Alfred–Möller–Straße. Both sites have a cafeteria (Mensa), a library and computer rooms.
