 Well, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to extend a very warm welcome from the board of the Presidency of the University and I know I have a very hard job right now. It's an uphill fight because you're actually starting your heritage, which you deserve very much, because you have had a very intense day today and some of you or maybe most of you just flew in yesterday and maybe jet lagged. So I try my best and the best that you can do in these situations is to be short. So I'm very happy actually to realize that IPDET 2.0 will be the hallmark of a restart of something that has already been working for 16 years now in a different place on the same earth. And I'm very happy actually to figure out that we can do this now here in Berm together with our colleagues from the Center of Evaluation in the Sauerland, together with our colleagues at the University, which is the CDE essentially and also the Center of Continuous Education and then also of course with the World Bank. So this is a great opportunity for us. Now why Berm? And this brings me to the point to explain to you at least in some words where you've finished up and why you hope that we've finished up in a good place here in Berm. As scientists we all know and we all like competition and we have heard this already this morning. We have had the soccer world championships finishing yesterday and about 40 nations essentially took place here and we have been actually going through a process of evaluation and out of about 40 competitors we made it here. So it's a sort of a singular success that we can have here. Competition of course is in the heart of essentially the DNA of every researcher and that's not only true for research of course, that's also true for many other disciplines. But who are we at the end of the day? So we are a comprehensive university. We have actually eight faculties and we are in terms of student numbers which are now close to 18,000. We are in number three in Switzerland. We're having a hard challenge with the University of Geneva because we are about the same size and only the University of Zurich and Etihad. Zurich essentially has more students than we have. Now our university belongs according to the rankings to the best one percent of all universities and let me give you two examples why we believe this is the place where we have to be and the first example that I will tell you has to do in some terms with sustainability as we are I believe very strong in climate science and all of you know the former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore and when he is traveling through the world and he is showing this extraordinary diagram with the CO2 concentration which is raising over time the essentially the data for this comes from the University of Berlin and has been actually put out of the ice cores that have been analyzed from trace gases and greenhouse gases here at the University of Berlin. Now there is another discipline which is big related but not completely in that space science. We are very strong in space science and I'm telling this to you because next year 2019 will be 50 years essentially of the Apollo mission 11 and that was the first man on Moon 50 years ago that's a long time. Why am I saying this? Because the first scientific experiment that has been put out by the crew of Apollo 11 was an experiment of the University of Berlin and essentially it was an experiment to sort of identify the components of the solar wind. So I believe these are two examples which show that we are here and I must now make the gap again. Of course in this audience we are not looking for the next planet that we could eventually populate but we are at the point where we should probably think and rethink our planet here and make our planet a better world than it is right now. So clearly we have ethical responsibilities as universities and essentially we put this under the motto at the University of Berlin which says knowledge generates value and I think that's true for everybody and every institution that brings further and that further is essentially knowledge gaining in all disciplines. We have a strategy, a university strategy which we call Strategy 2021 which means that in a short time we have to rethink the strategy for 2030 probably but within this strategy there are five key areas that we have defined and I would say three of them essentially apply to what EAPDET essentially has to do and wants to do and already did in the past and this is of course sustainability, it's intercultural knowledge and at the end it's politics and administration. We are here in the capital of Switzerland so we try to provide research but also training for people that are in the central government here either on the level of the confederation but also on the canto. And of course if it comes to sustainability then we are certainly at the core of the Centre for Development and Environment where eventually we do research but also training on five different continents in the world essentially to figure out how to inspire policy makers to make this man a better world, how to engage also partners from different countries in a joint effort in research but also in teaching. Now we are very proud also of coming back to the questions where do we play a role in the world that the former president of the CD Peter Leslie is of course the co-chair of the UN 2030 agenda on sustainability and I just learned from Miss Luthor who essentially met him this morning or yesterday, she just flew in from New York this morning that this report is actually well on the way and is well organized and I'm very happy essentially to hear this. So I promise not to become too long so let me end up with the thanks that go to all the institutions and people that stay behind this heat debt. Of course I would thank the data which is represented by Nikola Hudo here she will follow up my short talk here and I would also like to thank all the sponsors that make this possible and it essentially finds also grants to students or people to come here then of course I would like to thank the World Bank that realized this morning that when the question came up do we need the debt, that they realized yes we need the debt and we need it more than ever because the agenda 2030 of the UN will actually bring changes into the whole system in a way that we need to think more about evaluation and correct evaluation and as we have heard in the keynote lecture this evening that we need to make sure that we are still evaluators at the end and that we teach people in evaluation and we are not going into a society that is purely determined and controlled by people who are sort of in the area of the parasciences or in the consulting area. Now I would also like to thank the Center for Evaluation at the Salon University which actually enjoyed efforts will bring further the two next weeks for you and then last but not least of course the Center for Continuous Education at the University of Bern that has done I think a very strong effort in order to bring this EAPDET 2.0 to Bern. Now the next two weeks essentially that you are going to stay here and follow the courses at the University and follow the program of course will determine whether there will be continuation and we all strongly hope of course that the next 16 years of EAPDET 2.0 will be here in Bern, you would be welcome on these occasions and now let me wish you a good stay here in Bern enjoy also a little bit the leisure time that I imagine you will not have too much of it but anyway you know the mayor of the city of Bern already this morning mentioned to you where good places are to look at it's the old center of the city and of course for the swingers of you don't miss the river are but be careful. Thank you very much.
