International acitivities of the BMBF – some examples


Goals: • to highlight research in Germany and the advantages that it offers• to make German research institutions more visible to our partners, customers and competitors. An information platform and contact point for all looking to find out more about Germany's research landscape and its latest research achievementsWeb portal:• informs researchers and scientists about what Germany has to offer them• covers the 17 future fields of the High-Tech Strategy and other fields of science and learning• addresses a whole host of other players from politics and government, business and industry, or science and research, as well as our young researchers

A campaign by the BMBF to "Promote Innovation and Research in Germany" - launched in November 2006
