We warmly welcome the Ukrainian National Forestry University (UNFU) as new member of our network! Thanks to the initiative of Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development, contacts were established and an official ceremony was organized during a visit by representatives of UNFU to Eberswalde.
Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development has a long history of working together with Ukrainian universities in research and teaching including the Ukrainian National Forestry University (UNFU). The President of HNEE, Prof. Dr. Matthias Barth, who is also a member of the COPERNICUS Alliance Advisory Board, proposed to invite UNFU to join the CA. Last week, the CA team had the pleasure to get to know UNFU Rector Zagorskyi Volodymyr Stepanovych and his team during an online meeting.
UNFU, located in Lviv, Western Ukraine, was founded in 1874. It is the only university in Ukraine fully specialized in the field of forest-based industry research and well-known for forestry education and science in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. They are committed to sustainable development and deliver high-quality work, especially under the current difficult conditions.
We thank our colleagues at HNEE for bringing our institutions together and look forward to future collaborations and exchange in our network!
