The new dimension to international research training in Germany
State-of-the-art laboratory, computing and library facilities, a well structured scientific programme and special support service for foreign students provide a stimulating environment for young researchers to excel in science. Dedicated supervision and mentoring arrangements, the training of transferable skills, and a transdisciplinary Science College to tackle overarching issues of our society prepare for professional perspectives beyond a pure academic career.
Gradually, entrepreneurs are realizing that older workers are not simply a disagreeable cost factor to be dispensed with as quickly as possible. Older employees possess indispensable knowledge, which they often take with them on retiring. This can have dramatic consequences particularly for smaller companies. Nova.PE helps to save knowledge by means of structured knowledge transfer from “old” to “young”.
Only the small buildings scattered around the landscape of central Italy, and partly acting as obstacles for farmers and their tractors, give any hint of the treasures still slumbering under the fields here. The huts protect the entrances to burial chambers a few metres below the surface of the ground which the Etruscans had hewn in stone and decorated with beautiful paintings. Soon these burial chambers will be on view in a virtual museum.
Competition stimulates business. Where many religious communities are grouped together in a confined area, the offers of religion are more tailor-made to the customer demands. This in turn results in a growth in religious vitality: people get more involved in religious communities again, feel more closely associated to them, with an overall general increase in religiousness. That at least is the hypothesis of primarily American religion sociologists which is currently arousing interest in Europe.
