External progress is also visible, above all, in the new building.
The complex will house the library, lecture rooms and study rooms for students, thus creating a new Centre for Communications. Internal developments at ebs have been no less positive. On 1.1.2000 Mr. Ulrich Hommel, M.A., Ph.D. takes on the newly-created Chair in Investment and Risk Management. For the oldest independent Business School in Germany, continuous change of this order is an essential challenge, and one that is also vital to the consolidation of Germany s leading position internationally. We take them as an incentive to maintain our drive towards the optimum fusion of university and practice in management education and thus to assure our contribution to the improvement of training in Germany as a whole.
