Welcome to Freie Universität Berlin
The 1st UAS Spring Campus shall serve as a platform to share experiences. The program will offer insights into state-of-the-art research in three parallel running research workshops. Participants in the field of campus management are invited to discuss findings concerning different mecha-nisms of change in the management workshop. The work-shops offer the opportunity for exchange and discussion of good practice examples. Networking will be facilitated within the network and beyond.
This booklet shall provide you with useful information re-garding the workshops and the city of Berlin. We hope this online guide will facilitate your preparations and your stay in the capital of Germany. It is also intended to encourage you to discover some of the green and sustainable landmarks of the city. Most places mentioned in this guide are marked in this Berlin map.
If you have any further questions, suggestions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of our staff members. You can find our contact details on page 24.
Freie Universität Berlin is delighted to host the first Spring Campus of the University Alliance for Sustainability (UAS). The UAS comprises the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Pe-king University, St. Petersburg State University, the Univer-sity of British Columbia and the Freie Universität Berlin. The partners focus on sustainability as a holistic approach for collaborating in research, teaching, and campus manage-ment. The Alliance combines the strengths of five strategic partner universities to develop joint research and teaching projects on the topic of sustainability. We offer exchange options for students, faculty members and administrative staff from across faculties and the universities to promote sustainability discourse throughout whole institutions. The project runs until 2018 and receives funding from the Ger-man Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
As an international network university with about 35.700 stu-dents, more than 200 buildings and 5.100 staff members, all aspects of sustainability are relevant to Freie Universität Ber-lin - be it in research, education or campus management.This approach builds also the basis for the Spring Campus program and organization.

its institutional future development strategy. Freie Uni-versität Berlin can thus take its place as an International Network University in the global competition among uni-versities. The University’s performance in the Excellence Initiative provided funding for several new doctoral pro-grams and interdisciplinary research clusters.
Today, Freie Universität maintains 105 partnerships at the university-wide level, along with 339 university partnerships within the Erasmus academic exchange network and 45 in-stitute partnerships, forming a wide-ranging and tight-knit global network. Each year, about 600 international scholars and scientists contribute to the variety of teaching and re-search activities pursued at Freie Universität. One ground-breaking development that demonstrates the way the Uni-versity takes international cooperation to the next level is the seven international liaison offices of Freie Universität that were founded in 2007 – in Cairo, Moscow, New Delhi, São Paulo, New York, Beijing, and Brussels.
The University's Unit for Sustainability and Energy Ma-nagement is responsible for the integration of sustainabili-ty practices in all areas and entities of Freie Universität. The Unit is assigned directly to the Executive Board. For further information about the purpose and responsibilities of the unit please visit our website: www.fu-berlin.de/en/sites/nachhaltigkeit
Freie Universität Berlin
The history of Berlin’s universities is closely connected with the city’s history. Freie Universität Berlin was founded on December 4, 1948, by students, scholars, and scientists with the support of the American Allied Forces and politicians. The move was sparked by the persecution faced by students who took a critical view of the system at the former Uni-versity of Berlin, at that time called Universität Unter den Linden, which was located in the Soviet sector of the divi-ded city.
Today, Freie Universität Berlin is a leading research insti-tution. In both rounds of the Excellence Initiative, a nati-onwide governmental competition between German uni-versities, it was selected as one of the 11 universities with excellence status, thereby receiving additional funding for

Following a whole-institution approach, the spring campus will bring researchers, management staff, and PhD candi-dates and students together to contribute to this discus-sion. The program will be opened by the president of Freie Universität Berlin Prof. Peter-André Alt, Prof. Dr. Dr. Klaus Töpfer, former Director of the United Nations Environ-mental Programme and former German Minister for Envi-ronmental Protection as well as Walter Hirche, Member of the German Council for Sustainable Development.
Sustainability has become a key global issue in recent years. A growing number of networks, institutions, and stakeholders emphasize the significant role of universities in shaping the discourse on sustainability. Being active in research and teaching as well as managing often large and complex campuses, universities are ideal societal test-beds for sustainable solutions.
But what are the conditions for universities to become more active in sustainability?
In addressing the topic of “Connecting Communities for Sustainability: Do Universities Matter?”, the Spring Cam-pus of the University Alliance for Sustainability will criti-cally reflect on the role of universities as societal actors and the integral function of communities and community en-gagement. Building and engaging communities to jointly develop and maintain sustainable societal solutions will be paramount in the process of a “Great Transformation”. Within the framework of the UAS, the Spring Campus will also focus on how international networks can connect communities and trigger engagement in sustainability.

WORKSHOP I: "Climate Governance in International Comparison"
Research Workshop I: "Climate Governance in International Comparison"
Organized by Prof. Miranda Schreurs
Considering the importance of climate change, it is crucial to understand the policies and measures being introduced by different major political actors. This workshop proposes to examine climate and environmental policy making across China, the European Union, Russia, Canada and Israel. Combined, these blocks are responsible for close to half of global carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, understanding their climate policies both at the national and the sub-national levels are extremely important. This also requires an understanding of the broader developments related to the introduction of eco-logical modernization/ecological civilization and green transformation concepts. It is also critical to consider the potential for cooperation among and between these countries. The workshop intends to focus on these questions.
It is the aim of this workshop to strengthen networking between the strategic partners of the University Alliance for Sus-tainability and to possibly work out common research projects. Bringing together the different perspectives on climate governance will allow us to identify effective levers for climate protection beyond international climate politics.

The aim of the workshop is to point out the roles that universities can embrace regarding Education for Sustainable Deve-lopment. The discussion of best-practice examples will provide the basis for our conversation. We will explore characteristics that are necessary for catalyzing the transformation of societies towards sustainability (through Higher Education for Sus-tainable Development). In particular, we are interested in the collaborations between universities and other societal actors.
A focus will be on the discussion of their impact or potential impact as well as their transferability based on the analysis of best-practice examples. Furthermore, we will look into the question of the measurability of Education for Sustainable Development and ask what are appropriate indicators for self-evaluation and reporting?

Getting Around in Berlin and on Campus
Germany’s capital is one of Europe’s most exciting cities. A "new" Berlin has emerged since the fall of the Berlin Wall, but the city is still constantly evolving. When it comes to creativity, Berlin can compete with every other metropolis in the world. You will find exciting art exhibitions, radical and innovative theatre and opera productions, as well as cool clubs in all parts of the city. It is also a political and cultural capital with a turbulent history which can be experienced in visiting some of Germany's best historical museums. To get an overview on Berlin and its main sights, you can visit the official homepage of Berlin www.berlin.de/en/ or the official tourism website www.visitberlin.de/en.
All campus locations of Freie Universität Berlin are located in the southwest of Berlin, mainly in Dahlem, an idyllic and green neighbourhood. The Dahlem Campus hosts 12 of the university’s 15 departments and central institutes, more than 20 libraries, various student cafés and canteens – including Germany’s first vegetarian university canteen, university sport facilities, and the Botanical Garden. The Campus is surrounded by wonderful green areas. The Lankwitz Campus hosts the Department of Earth Sciences, while the Department of Veterinary Medicine is located on the Düppel Campus.

Public Transport
It is easy to get around in Berlin as public transportation can take you everywhere. Berlin public transportation network (BVG) regular tickets can be purchased at ticket vending machines located at the stops, train stations, in streetcars, or di-rectly from the bus driver. Each ticket must be validated in a stamp machine located next to ticket vending machines. For ticket prices, timetables, routes and more information see the BVG website: http://www.bvg.de/en
If you are planning to stay a couple of days longer than just for the workshop, a bike can be a nice way to get around. You can use a bike-sharing system of Deutsche Bahn (the German train company) with stations everywhere around the city (http://www.callabike.de) or just rent a bicycle at one of many bike rentals in Berlin – just google it (e.g. “rent a bike Berlin”). For directions, you can use the bbbike route planner, which was developed for cyclists in Berlin: http://www.bbbike.de/cgi-bin/bbbike.en.cgi. It is quite useful if you want to avoid big roads with heavy traffic.
Green Berlin: Sightseeing and Practical Information
Berlin is less widely known for the extensive forests and garden plots scattered throughout the city, which contribute greatly to the quality of urban life. While Berlin is a large urban region, it is home to vast parklands such as Grunewald, Treptower Park, or the Gardens of the World, and a myriad of bridges crisscrossing the rivers and canals. Both features give the city not only a feeling of spaciousness, but also of remarkable green beauty. The most recent example of Berlin’s spaciousness is the former Berlin Tempelhof Airport, which was recreated into a public park. An extensive and affordable public transportation system makes it easy to get around the city. Thanks to a recent public initiative, there is an increase in traffic of bicycles and electric cars. Further information can be found on the website of the Senate Department for Urban Development and Environment or in the Environmental Atlas.To get to know some of Berlin’s green and alternative sides, you can go on one of the 20 Green Walks or join a sustainable walking tour. There are various groups which offer such tours, e.g.:
• http://creative-sustainability-tours-berlin.net/• http://www.ticket-b.de/sustainable-development-tour-berlin.html • http://alternativeberlin.com/green-tour• http://www.bgbm.org/en/garden/survey-garden• http://www.etuktuk.com/index.php/en/
