Dear Readers,
We are delighted to present the first issue of our newsletter "Research in Germany" of the portal 'research-in-germany.de'. This portal is part of the initiative of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to promote Germany as a key location of research and innovation. It offers the international research community in the spheres of science, politics and industry an opportunity to learn more about Germany's diverse science and research landscape and to find suitable partners for research collaborations.
The portal's new newsletter will appear every other month and will feature information on the most recent developments in German science and research. It will also include the latest news as well as interviews about international research cooperation and about relevant funding opportunities. In addition, the Internet portal of the "Research in Germany" initiative presents the projects and results of cutting-edge research in Germany and describes the contributions of German science and research organizations to the BMBF's international campaigns focusing on specific subjects and countries.
The portal provides extensive information on Germany's role as a key location of innovation and research, on the thematic priorities of the High-Tech Strategy, and on the key players operating in Germany's research landscape.
So please come and explore the Land of Ideas by browsing through our newsletter and visiting our portal. We hope you enjoy reading our articles and surfing our website!
Yours sincerely,
The Editorial Team
