The "Europaschule" Johann-Gutenberg-Schule Bremerhaven is an inclusive secondary school in the north of Bremerhaven. With approximately 700 pupils and around 80 teaching staff, it’s the largest school of its kind in the town of Bremerhaven. The JGS is one of three specialist school campuses in Bremerhaven providing inclusive education to pupils with sensory, physical, and developmental Special Educational Needs (SEN). The JGS also comprises of two “welcome classes” These are intensive German language preparatory classes, for migrant and refugee pupils upon their entry into the German school system. We also envisage establishing a third “welcome class” in the coming school term. The JGS prides itself in promoting STEM subjects by offering our pupils access to projects outside the classroom such as “Jugend forscht” (The young scientist and technology exhibition) and “Schüler experimentieren” (The junior young scientist and technology exhibition for pupils under the age of 15 years). Throughout the years, the JGS has developed and maintained a strong partnership with the University of Applied Sciences in Bremerhaven. In order to best meet the needs of our pupils in the subject areas of chemistry and physics, our pupils are taught based on their individual academic abilities from the age of fifteen. A further example of our innovative approach to meeting our pupil’s needs is the subject “Ernährung/Gesundheit/Ökologie” (EGÖ). This subject, which is unique to the JGS and one of its kind in Germany, is a synergy of the subject areas of nutrition, health, and environmental science. This project-based subject is offered to pupils aged twelve years and above. It is also innately intertwined with our mission of being a “Healthy School” (being a leader in the Healthy Schools Project). Since the beginning of the academic school year 2017/2018 the JGS has been promoting the theme “Europe” as a central part of both our school’s curriculum and ethos. The JGS has embarked upon it’s journey in becoming the first school in Bremerhaven to be bestowed with the prestigious “Europeschool” accreditation and succeeded in May 2019. The school year 2017 has also marked the commencement of the teaching staff at the JGS becoming acquainted with and gaining their first experiences of Erasmus+ (formerly known as Comenius) and eTwinning projects, which in turn, have been ground-breaking for our school. In order to continue with the advancement of a whole school approach to our involvement in such projects, our teaching staff requires access to further training and professional development ;

The Leibniz IPHT pursues the vision of using light to find solutions to questions and urgent problems in the areas of health, the environment, medicine and safety to make life safer, healthier and cleaner. This vision can be succinctly summarised by the slogan “Photonics for Life”. The Leibniz IPHT explores photonic and biophotonic processes and systems for issues and applications in medicine as well as life and environmental sciences and pharmacy. This research takes place in the three programme areas of Biophotonics, Fiber Optics and Photonic Detection based on key photonic technologies and other enabling technologies. The application-oriented area of Biophotonics is the connecting link for all research activities at the institute and aligns this focus of research towards optical health technologies. The institute’s mission is focussed on exploring and translating biophotonic methods and technologies, whose resolution, sensitivity, specificity, speed, accuracy and automation advance into new dimensions. This lays the foundation for faster and more precise medical diagnostics, for new therapies, for safer medications, for a new quality of food and environmental analysis as well as for innovative safety technology. The Leibniz IPHT is focussed on ensuring that its research activities are used in the public interest and for the benefit of society and it therefore actively promotes technology as well as knowledge transfer across the board. The institute, together with its partners, maps the entire process from the basic technological research through to the translation to customised solutions for various applications in line with the motto “From Ideas to Instruments”. The translation of the knowledge gained for the benefit of users is a fixed part of the institute’s mission. In both its research and transfer activities, the Leibniz IPHT utilises research infrastructure, recognised as “outstanding” by the German Council of Science, which it manages independently as well as together with partners, or makes available to partners, and ensures that it is kept up to date.

Our Business Priorities We believe in the importance of having a clear set of priorities to guide us through a turbulent and ever-changing environment. Our aim is to achieve long term sustainable growth and deliver value to all our stakeholders. Focus on patients We focus on developing innovative medicines and diagnostic tests that help patients live longer, better lives. Two-thirds of all diseases are either still not treated adequately or not treated at all. This medical need is enormous and better diagnostics and medicines can make a huge difference to the lives of millions of patients and their families. Excellence in science We strive to address unmet medical needs through excellence in science. Breakthroughs in science and technology increasingly allow us to find out precisely what is malfunctioning in the body and develop drugs to counter the problem. We focus on oncology, immunology, ophthalmology, infectious diseases and neuroscience, however we remain flexible and follow the science as new insights become available. Personalised Healthcare We combine our strengths in pharmaceuticals and diagnostics to better fit treatments to patients. When genetic differences can be identified, the efficacy and safety of medicines can be improved enormously. To this end we have a companion diagnostic strategy for every molecule we develop. Access to healthcare We aim to bring our medicines and diagnostic tests to as many people in need as possible. Every healthcare system comes with different challenges and we customise solutions for individual markets. We work with many different local partners to reduce barriers to accessing healthcare and establish innovative, sustainable ways to bring effective and affordable healthcare to patients. Great workplace We are committed to constantly strengthening and maintaining an excellent workplace where every person feels valued and respected and can grow to his or her full potential. Our people make our business. They discover, develop and manufacture our products and ensure they reach the patients who need them. We believe that the key to our success lies in our ability to attract, retain and motivate a highly skilled and diverse workforce. Sustainable value We run our business in a way that is ethical and aims to create long-term value for all stakeholders. We want to create value through developing medical solutions and we aim for as many people to benefit from them as possible. We believe that our success lies in our ability to develop strategies where both industry and society benefit in a sustainable way.

#betd24 Panel: Sustainability Standards in Green Hydrogen

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on Sustainability Standards in Green Hydrogen moderated by Dr. Melinda Crane. Green hydrogen, produced with renewable energy, is going to play an important role in achieving greenhouse-gas neutrality - through decarbonisation of non-electrifiable sectors, replacement of grey hydrogen in chemical industry, provision of long-duration energy storage, and as a component of synthetic fuels for transport. However, in a number of countries domestic supply will not be sufficient to satisfy domestic demand, necessitating imports of green hydrogen both in the short and long run. Currently, the global green-hydrogen industry is still in an early phase, where pilot projects are being set up, but an international market with physical trade of green hydrogen and its derivatives has not yet developed. The session first takes stock of the current situation and then discusses the remaining challenges for suppliers and offtakers of green hydrogen that have to be solved in order to push-start international trade in the commodity. It also debates possible and essential pathways in the transformation of grey-hydrogen production through low-carbon intermediates to green-hydrogen production. The focus in the subsequent discussion is on the challenge of proliferating, non-uniform or missing sustainability standards for the production and transport of green hydrogen. Sustainability standards here include both the regulatory requirements for electricity procurement and greenhouse gas thresholds, as well as criteria to judge the social and ecological impacts in producer countries. Participants first discuss whether unclear sustainability standards are an impediment for international market development. They then debate how these standards could be harmonised regarding design, methodology, and governance – while taking into account both the necessities of the industry and the developmental needs of the producer countries. Apart from that, possibilities of interoperability and recommendations how to best cope with differing standards will be explored. Finally, session participants debate the role of green-hydrogen diplomacy in increasing the sustainability impact of international green-hydrogen projects. How can diplomacy help to make green-hydrogen trade a win-win business, with fair and sustainable rewards for both producer and consumer countries and their societies?

#betd24 Deep Dive: Decentralized Renewable Energy for Industrial and Commercial Zones

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Deep Dive session @BETD.24 on Decentralized Renewable Energy for Industrial and Commercial Zones moderated by Hajar Yagkoubi. Captive power plants are installed by industrial or commercial organisations on their sites. They are deemed “captive” because the electricity generated is not fed into the grid but is rather for the company’s own (and sometimes for neighboring communities’) use . During this session we only refer to clean captive installations powered by renewable energies. In the face of high-energy costs and, in some countries, frequent power shortages and lack of efficient transmission infrastructure, captive use of renewable energies can help mitigate these challenges the industry and commerce are encountering.

#betd24 Deep Dive: Holistic Solutions for Food and Water Supply Powered by Renewables

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Deep Dive @BETD.24 on Holistic Solutions for Food and Water Supply Powered by Renewables moderated by Hajar Yagkoubi. The Energy-Water-Food Nexus refers to the interconnections and interdependencies between energy, water, and food systems. Holistic agricultural solutions that integrate renewable energy sources can contribute to sustainable and resilient approaches for ensuring an adequate and secure supply of water and food. Agri PV also referred to as agrivoltaics or solar farming, offers farms the opportunity to cultivate crops in a more resource-efficient manner and creating new synergies: They enable dual land use, allowing agricultural activities to continue underneath solar panels. This optimises land use, particularly valuable in areas where land is scarce or expensive. Moreover, studies have shown that the partial shading provided by solar panels in Agri PV systems can reduce evaporation, maintain soil moisture, and moderate temperature extremes, resulting in improved crop yields. Additionally, farmers can use electricity generated by on-site solar panels to power their agricultural operations, reducing energy costs and reliance on the grid, thus mitigating the impact of fluctuating energy prices. Other technologies such as solar irrigation systems (sometimes paired with water-efficient drip irrigation) have become widely recognised in certain parts of the world often replacing diesel pumps. Solar irrigation holds great promise, especially for smallholder farmers in the Global South who depend on rainfed agriculture and are thus particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. However, they often lack access to knowledge, technology and financing to adopt such solutions. Furthermore, solar offers significant potential along agricultural value chains, enabling better preservation and local processing of crops in off-grid areas. This not only enhances food security but also contributes to climate resilience of communities. During this Deep Dive, we will delve into strategies for driving the energy transition in agriculture, pinpointing remaining obstacles and identifying incentives required for progress.

#betd24 Panel: Just Transition & Gender - Leave No One Behind

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on Just Transition & Gender - Leave No One Behind moderated by Dr. Melinda Crane. As the expansive adoption of renewable energy gains momentum and economies are moving away from fossil fuels, we need to make the transformation ahead of us equitable and inclusive and treat it as an opportunity to dismantle structural disadvantages. By upscaling renewable energy sources in off-grid areas, we can provide reliable access to electricity in remote areas and thus strengthen participation. The need for skilled workers also holds the chance to break down entry barriers that women, especially those experiencing multiple forms of discrimination, and other minorities face. Only if they have a seat at the negotiation table, we can create energy systems that acknowledge the needs of people from different regions, backgrounds and gender. To initiate meaningful action and facilitate lasting change, awareness of the interconnectedness of gender and diversity must be raised within all social, institutional and political bodies, including within the energy sector. Intersectional perspectives are needed to raise awareness of different, complex forms of discrimination prevalent in our societies today. If we want to create a holistic energy system that works for everyone we need to consider multiple perspectives and knowledge and embrace diversity in decision making. In this panel discussion we will take a look at the steps that need to be taken in terms of policy design and energy planning in order to achieve a just and equitable energy transition. An intersectional approach prevents us from combating one form of discrimination at the expense of another. We will also debate the role of privileged groups in reshaping the structures that perpetuate discrimination and the concept of allyship.

#betd24 Deep Dive: Community Engagement & Indigenous Knowledge

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Deep Dive session @BETD.24 on Community Engagement & Indigenous Knowledge moderated by Hajar Yagkoubi. Wildfires were breaking records this year and devastating droughts have affected the Amazon region while deforestation rates remain high. Even though Indigenous cultures have contributed the least to the climate crisis, they are often among the first to face its dire consequences. At the same time, the rights of indigenous peoples are rarely adequately represented in negotiations even though they possess tremendous traditional knowledge about the interconnectedness of the natural world. It is increasingly acknowledged that the recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights is one of the most effective ways of safeguarding our remaining carbon sinks. Consequently, no roadmap to a just energy transition is complete without including the voices of Indigenous communities. What is more, community engagement can be crucial in ensuring local acceptance and connectivity of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Against this backdrop, this studio session will explore the importance of community engagement and Indigenous knowledge for the energy transition. We will hear from experts about successful community-led energy projects and consider the challenges and opportunities of incorporating Indigenous knowledge into energy planning. We will also discuss policy recommendations for an inclusive and participatory energy transition, including considerations for stakeholder engagement, cultural sensitivity, and intergenerational equity.

#betd24 Panel: Financing an Accelerated Coal Phase-Out - Challenges and Solutions

21 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on Financing an Accelerated Coal Phase-Out - Challenges and Solutions moderated by Jennifer Porto. The science is clear: to keep the 1.5 degrees goal within reach, countries need to immediately end the construction of new coal power plants and phase out existing plants by 2030 in the OECD and EU, and by 2040 elsewhere. Momentum is growing with the Powering Past Coal Alliance as the leading international initiative for phasing out coal power welcoming twelve new members at COP28. Its membership now comprises almost 170 national and subnational governments and companies from the energy and finance sector. However, billions of dollars of public and especially private money are still being invested in the coal sector. In order to ensure a phase out of coal power, public and private finance flows have to be redirected from supporting coal towards renewable energy. At the same time, the retirement of coal power plants before the end of their lifetime requires a diverse range of policy measures and innovative financing solutions for the coal-to-clean transition as part of the broader efforts to align financial flows with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Examples include carbon pricing and air quality standards on the one hand, and new initiatives such as the Asian Development Bank’s Energy Transition Mechanism launched at COP27 and France-led Coal Transition Accelerator initiative at COP28 on the other hand. How especially existing coal assets and new investments including from the private sector into coal can be ended and what methods exists, should be discussed in this session.

#betd24 Spotlight: Investment in Transformation - The Future is Renewable(s)

20 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Spotlight Session @BETD.24 on Investment in Transformation - The Future is Renewable(s) moderated by Melinda Crane. As the world continues to fight climate change, more and more money is being invested in the transition to clean, green energy. The agreement to triple renewables at cop28 in Dubai represents a step change in the world’s journey to a clean, secure and just energy future. In a sign of how much progress is being made, the International Energy Agency's world energy investment report predicts that solar investments will attract more than $1 billion a day by 2023. Led by solar, low-emission technologies are expected to account for nearly 90 percent of power generation investment. Yet, investment in clean energy technologies is still not significantly outpacing spending on fossil fuels; we need to make financial flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development. Furthermore, it is important to remember that investment flows into renewable energy and its technical components are currently unevenly distributed. There is also a need to reduce the cost of capital for developing countries to de-risk power system investments. The course for the energy of the future is being set now - in this session, we will look at financial instruments and policies that are essential to benefit the whole world.

#betd24 Panel: A Global Renewables & Energy Efficiency Target – Commitment to Action

20 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on A Global Renewables & Energy Efficiency Target – Commitment to Action moderated by Dr. Melinda Crane. With the Paris Agreement, we are committed to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees. Limiting the rise of temperature to this threshold is still possible and requires a rapid end to the burning of fossil fuels, a faster increase in energy efficiency, and a significant expansion of renewable energy. At the COP28 in Dubai, the 198 signatory parties of the UNFCCC agreed to transition away from fossil fuels, to double the rate of energy-efficiency improvements and to triple renewable energy production capacities until 2030 – commitments that signal new momentum for the global energy transition. There are signs that warrant optimism: The global energy transition has picked up speed in recent times, driven by economies of scale in renewable energy technologies, favourable policy-making in a number of countries and the growing realisation that perpetuating the use of fossil fuels will be too expensive. Nevertheless, further acceleration is needed – in speed, scale, scope, and for eliminating regional disparities. The session discusses the current state of the global energy transition and highlights its recent success stories and remaining challenges around the globe. On this basis, participants debate how we can achieve the doubling-down/tripling-up targets set in Dubai through concrete actions. The focus of the discussion is on enabling policies that need an international or multilateral approach, on the role and recommendations of private actors, and on finance, whether from international financial institutions or from bilateral lenders, that has to be leveraged in larger quantity to reach the common goals.

#betd24 Panel: Lessons From the Energy Transition in Latin America & the Caribbean

20 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on Lessons From the Energy Transition in Latin America & the Carribean moderated by Melinda Crane. South America is pivotal in steering the worldwide shift towards ecological sustainability, even as the impact of environmental alterations intensifies within the region. This region commands a rich tapestry of natural and developed resources and therefore holds the potential to significantly bolster global energy security and advance the cause of sustainable energy practices, provided that the region enacts robust policy frameworks. Furthermore, these resources could not only fuel the region’s own energy transformation but also serve as an economic catalyst, reversing a protracted period of modest economic expansion. Latin America and the Caribbean stand out with an energy matrix among the most pristine on the globe, setting a promising stage for future endeavors in clean energy sectors. Renewable energy sources, predominantly hydropower, are responsible for 60 percent of the region's electrical generation — double the worldwide average. This region also boasts some of the planet's most exceptional wind and solar potentials, particularly in nations like Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Bioenergy utilisation is a common thread throughout these nations, strengthening their position as significant biofuel exporters.

#betd24 Panel: Making Power Grids Fit for Renewables

20 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Panel Discussion @BETD.24 on Making Power Grids Fit for Renewables moderated by Jennifer Porto. Electric cars and home storage systems can act as both producers and consumers and thus relieve the load on the grid. In the EU, around 40 percent of grids are 40 years old or older. At that time, however, grids were designed as one-way streets from the large electricity producers to the consumers. At the time, no one thought about decentralised renewable energies or wind and solar parks on land or at sea. But that is now set to change. In order to implement the European Green Deal, the EU Commission presented an action plan at the end of 2023 to make the European electricity grids fit for the future. The Commission expects electricity consumption to increase by 60 percent by 2030. In addition, grids are to become more flexible, decentralised and digital and cross-border electricity trading is to double. The cost: almost 600 billion euros. In the meantime, the grid should also become smarter and adapt demand to fluctuating supply. The roll-out of smart meters provides consumers with the necessary incentives. The enormous growth in renewable energies poses a major challenge for the local electricity grids, particularly in Africa. According to IRENA, generation capacities are set to increase almost tenfold to 530 gigawatts by 2040. However, many people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, are still not connected to the public power grid. Renewable energies, and photovoltaics in particular, nevertheless enable these people to cover their energy needs, often as part of stand-alone grids. Consideration is currently being given to how these off-grids can be integrated into the public grid and at the same time enable cross-border electricity trading, particularly of renewable electricity.

#betd24 Fireside Chat: A Decade for the Energy Transition - 10 Years BETD

Berlin Energy Transi...

Fireside Chat @BETD.24 on A Decade for the Energy Transition - 10 Years BETD moderated by Jennifer Porto. A lot has happened since the first BETD ten years ago. Notably, renewable energy has experienced a remarkable upswing, with global expansion accelerating each year. Last year, renewable energy sources accounted for over 80 percent of all new electricity generation capacity, while the energy crisis triggered by the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine highlighted the issue of supply security. Simultaneously, the costs of solar power and wind energy as well as storage solutions continue to fall, making them the most economically attractive energy sources in many regions today. With ever better and cheaper batteries, wind and solar power can be stored for longer, thus further increasing their share. All the while, we see new financing instruments on the market, advancements in energy savings and phasing-out fossil, and reforms to energy markets and prices. Despite these successes, CO2 emissions are not being reduced fast enough and continue to rise in some regions. The next few years are therefore crucial. Because if we do not act immediately, by 2030 we will be emitting twice as much GHGs globally as are permitted to achieve 1.5 degrees.

#betd24 Deep Dive: Decarbonising Supply Chains

19 Mar 2024

Berlin Energy Transi...

Deep Dive session @BETD.24 on Decarbonising Supply Chains moderated by Hajar Yagkoubi. In order to effectively reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, companies need climate neutral supply chains – but getting there is highly complex. Companies can decarbonise their Scope 1 and 2 emissions relatively easily by avoiding their direct CO2 emissions and sourcing their energy purchases from renewable sources. However, most of the greenhouse gases associated with companies‘ products and services are Scope 3 emissions, which are generated upstream or downstream in their supply chains. For many companies, these emissions account for up to 80 percent of their carbon footprint. Accounting for these emissions is a major challenge which also makes it difficult to identify emissions hotspots within supply chains that need to be addressed. In addition, 80 to 90 percent of global trade is handled via shipping routes, which are currently still difficult to decarbonise. Nevertheless, great efforts are also being made to reduce emissions in this area. At the same time, sustainable access to critical raw materials is particularly important for the energy transition. Critical materials like neodymium, dysprosium, lithium but also cobalt, nickel and copper are the resources needed to produce numerous key technologies for the energy transition, including wind turbines, solar panels, batteries for EVs and electrolysers.

SolarPower Europe

The European Union has set a goal of at least 30 GW European solar manufacturing, at each stage of the value chain, by 2030. By 2025, we need to have secured that 30 GW project pipeline. Right now, however, European solar manufacturers are facing a crisis, and need urgent support. SolarPower Europe's Policy Director Dries Acke visited Meyer Burger's solar cell manufacturing facility in Thalheim, Germany, to discuss with Jochen Fritsche, Head of Cell Production (Thalheim), about the key challenges facing the industry and what EU policy makers can do to support.

How German Researchers Use Grass to Create This Traditional Soil Amender

5 Mar 2024

ESCI - European Scie...

Did you know that nature conversation and agriculture can go hand in hand? For example, to maintain the current state of protected open floodplain meadows in a national park, mowing is necessary. This produces grass. But the grass is not suitable for feeding animals or even for biogas plants, because the mowing takes place so late in the year, due to bird protection, that the grass has become very woody. The result is a large amount of unwanted grass that even the farmers who help cut it have no real use for. Sounds like a dilemma, but there is a solution. In this film you will learn about a collaboration between the Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (ATB) in Potsdam and the National Park Association of the Lower Oder Valley in Brandenburg.They tackled the problem of unwanted grass in their area and developed an idea to turn it into a useful product, called biochar, with many applications. Biochar made from wood has been around for some time, and other organic materials have been experimented with as an input, so why not grass? Biochar is a soil amendment that improves water and nutrient retention and changes the microbial composition of the soil. In addition, the process of making biochar, called pyrolysis, generates large amounts of heat that could be used in a variety of ways.

Germany: Connecting Halle (Saale) with NGA broadband

1 Mar 2024

DigitalEU

The NGA broadband expansion project in the city of Halle (Saale) held significant importance for the community, particularly given the presence of numerous universities and a substantial population of approximately 143,000 residents, including around 20,000 students. The area necessitated an upgrade in internet infrastructure to align with technological advancements and meet EU targets. Funding for the project was secured through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The implemented network has the capability to deliver speeds of up to 10 Gbps. As a result of this initiative, 1,900 households, 8 commercial areas, 724 businesses, and 59 schools have been successfully connected. This comprehensive expansion addresses the immediate needs of residents and contributes significantly to the city's technological preparedness and economic vitality. This video is part of the European Broadband Competence Offices Network’s programme promoting awareness of good practices in broadband projects as well as EU broadband funding and policy.

"4 per 1000" Day 2023 - Mr. Cem ÖZDEMIR, Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture of Germany

20 Feb 2024

4p1000 Initiative

On the occasion of the UNFCCC COP 28 in Dubaï (United Arab Emirates), the 4 per 1000 Initiative: Soils for Food Security held the 6th 4 per 1000 Initiative Day on Wednesday, November 16th, 2022, in the Dubaï Dusit Conference Hall. The International Initiative 4 per 1000, launched by France on December 1st, 2015, at the COP 21, consists of federating all voluntary stakeholders of the public and private sectors (national governments, local and regional governments, companies, trade organizations, NGOs, research facilities, etc.) under the framework of the Lima-Paris Action Plan (LPAP). The Initiative aims to demonstrate that agriculture, particularly agricultural soils, can play a crucial role in food security and climate change. Supported by solid scientific documentation, this initiative invites all partners to state or implement practical actions on soil carbon storage and the type of practices to achieve this (e.g., agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape management, etc.). The initiative encourages stakeholders to transition towards a productive, highly resilient agriculture based on the appropriate management of lands and soils, creating jobs and incomes, and ensuring sustainable development.

The Zeitenwende is Not Enough – Germany Needs a Grand Strategy

13 Feb 2024

IIEA

According to Dr Benjamin Tallis, the Zeitenwende, Germany’s security transformation, remains incomplete. On its current track, it is also dangerously inadequate. Despite the manufactured budgetary crisis, the Scholz government needs to finish the task it started. This requires the courage to be honest with the German people about the state of the world – and of Germany. To prepare for the future, however, the country’s leaders need to think bigger and define a vision for Germany and the world it wants to shape. This will be difficult as German leaders have long been reluctant to discuss, let alone set, grand strategy. But now, with the world in flux and the old ways no longer working, Berlin needs to clearly lay out what it wants—and how it plans to get it. About the Speaker: Dr Benjamin Tallis is a Senior Research Fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) where he leads the ‘Action Group Zeitenwende’ as well as the DGAP Grand Strategy Group & co-hosts the podcast BerlinsideOut. He is the author of the concepts of Neo-Idealism and Team Power and of the books To Ukraine With Love: Essays on Russia’s War and Europe’s Future and Identities, Borderscapes, Orders: (Im)Mobility, (In)Security and Crisis in the EU and Ukraine. Benjamin Tallis worked on EU security missions in the Balkans and Ukraine and has researched, analysed, advised on and practiced European security for 20 years. He was recently awarded the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Medal of Honour – the Star of Lithuanian Diplomacy.

European Stability M...

The COVID 19 pandemic and the energy crisis have left their marks in Europe and especially in Germany, given its high share of energy-intensive industries. However, the projection of Germany’s potential output points to clear obstacles to growth in the coming decades, irrespective of the current economic weakness. In our latest #ESMLunchTalk, Veronika Grimm, Professor of Economics and Head of the Chair of Economic Theory at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and ESM Chief Economist Rolf Strauch talked about the current German economic outlook and the future challenges that will affect this country and the EU. Demographic ageing: to dampen labour scarcity, immigration policy needs to be reformed and incentives to work need to improve. Declining productivity growth: innovation - such as AI - and increasing investment activity within a completed capital markets union can accelerate an efficient reallocation of resource to foster a modernised economy. Green Transition: expansion of renewables and integrated networks among EU countries are key for a greener and more resilient Europe.

What role do strategic investments play in Germany's economic resurgence?

16 Jan 2024

Bruegel

As Europe's largest economy and the fourth-largest globally, Germany is making efforts to address impending labor shortages and boost its long-term economic growth. Policymakers are urged to prioritise skilled immigration, enhanced employment incentives, and the adoption of new capital goods. The German Council of Economic Experts (GCEE) projects a historic low in medium-term growth, emphasizing the need for strategies to counter the decline in labor volume through increased productivity growth. At this event we discussed the requirements for urgent policy decisions to create a conducive environment for capital and labor reallocation, with a focus on substantial investments in machinery, software and AI. Overcoming declining investment rates necessitates improvements in digital infrastructure and streamlined approval procedures. Strengthening both domestic and foreign direct investment will play a pivotal role in stabilising potential output growth, offering increased capacity for resource allocation and economic expansion.

BIH Lecture 32: Gordon Guyatt

11 Dec 2023

Berlin Institute of ...

In the BIH Lecture on December 1, 2023, Gordon Guyatt talked about the topic “How to Avoid Being Mislead by the Medical Literature”. Dr. Gordon Guyatt is a distinguished Professor in the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact, and the Department of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a general internist who has been heavily involved in clinical research. He has published over 1,500 papers in peer-reviewed journals; according to the Web of Science his work has been cited over 195,000 times. In this BIH Lecture Gordon Guyatt will talk about the potentially misleading findings and interpretation of findings in the medical literature. First, He presented evidence that funding of research influences the conclusions that authors draw from their data and suggest that clinicians should never read authors’ discussion of their own work but rather look to systematic reviews or guidelines from unconflicted sources. Second, he presented the problems with surrogate outcomes, and how clinicians must wait for trials that demonstrate benefits on patient-important outcomes before prescribing new treatments. Finally, he showed how randomized trials stopped early for benefit overestimate treatment effects, sometimes to a very large degree. The lecture was moderated by Ulrich Dirnagl (Head of BIH Quest Center).

End-of-Year Review of German Politics

7 Dec 2023

IIEA

According to Derek Scally, 2023 was an eventful year in German politics with almost constant infighting between the parties in the incumbent coalition government, the introduction of the country's first National Security Strategy against the backdrop of escalating conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, several important state elections, the rapid rise of the Alternative für Deutschland, the official exit of Sahra Wagenknecht from Die Linke to form a new party, and a bombshell constitutional court ruling that has endangered the coalition’s fiscal and political foundations. In his address to the IIEA, Derek Scally breaks down the major events that took place in Berlin this past year as well as what to expect in 2024. About the Speaker: Derek Scally is a native Dubliner, who studied at Dublin City University and Humboldt University in Berlin. He has been Irish Times correspondent in Berlin since 2001.

This video presents the experience of five Ukrainian researchers taking part in the MSCA4Ukraine Fellowship Scheme. As part of the EU’s response to the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine, a dedicated fellowship scheme ―MSCA4Ukraine― was established to provide support to displaced researchers from Ukraine. This support is enabling over 100 displaced researchers to continue their work at academic and non-academic organisations in EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries, while maintaining their connections to research and innovation communities in Ukraine. The final video of a five-part series, this video was filmed live at the Philipp Schwartz and Inspireurope Forum in Berlin in May 2023. It focuses on how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has impacted the displaced researchers’ research, the research linkages between their fellowships and their home institutions, as well as their contribution to the strengthening of the Ukrainian research and innovation sector.

The End of Germany’s China Illusion

6 Dec 2023

IIEA

The current trajectory of European policy towards China stands at a crucial juncture. In recent years, China has evolved from a long-term geopolitical challenge to a pivotal factor influencing the competitiveness of the European economy, the security of its citizens, and the EU's ability to fulfill its ambitious climate and digitalization goals. This shift poses a distinctive challenge for Germany, as its dependencies on the Chinese market are more pronounced compared to other EU member states. To address the challenges posed by today's China and establish a forward-looking vision, Berlin unveiled its first-ever China strategy in July 2023. In her address to the IIEA, Dr Janka Oertel, discusses how the implementation of this strategy is now essential at both the national level and as part of a broader European approach to China. About the Speaker: Dr Janka Oertel is director of the Asia programme and a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Oertel previously worked as a senior fellow in the Asia programme at the German Marshall Fund of the United States’ Berlin office, where she focused on transatlantic China policy including on emerging technologies, Chinese foreign policy, and security in east Asia. Dr Oertel has published widely on topics related to EU-China relations, US-China relations, security in the Asia-Pacific region, Chinese foreign policy, 5G and emerging technologies, as well as climate cooperation. Her new book The end of Germany’s China Illusion: How We Must Deal with Beijing’s Claim to Power was published in German by Piper in 2023. Recorded on the 6th of December 2023

German Foreign Policy in Flux: Assessing Berlin’s Leadership

27 Nov 2023

Carnegie Europe

In 2023, Germany’s foreign policy evolved considerably. The country adopted its first national security strategy and took decisive action to align its positions more closely with those of its allies.Yet, much remains to be done to tackle the challenges ahead. The EU’s enlargement process, Russia’s continuing war against Ukraine, the West’s confrontation with China, and the growing influence of emerging powers in the Global South all require stronger German leadership on the European stage.To mark the launch of The Berlin Pulse, the Körber-Stiftung’s annual flagship report on foreign and security policy issues, Carnegie Europe invites you to a public event on Germany’s and the EU’s foreign policy trajectories. Julia Ganter will present the results of the public opinion survey conducted for the report. A panel discussion with Viola von Cramon-Taubadel and Pierre Vimont, moderated by Alexandra von Nahmen, will follow.There will be a light reception after the event.This event is hosted in cooperation with the Körber-Stiftung.

amfori Webinar 'Deep-dive on Preventative and Remedial Actions under the German Supply Chain Act'

25 Oct 2023

amfori

The expectation for companies to conduct HREDD is increasingly becoming mandated by legislators across the globe. Examples of such legislation include the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which took effect on January 1, 2023, and the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which is presently under negotiation, with an expected conclusion by 2024. Prevention and remediation will be critical for in-scope companies to successfully implement human rights and environmental due diligence processes and ensure compliance with these obligations. This webinar will focus on how to respond to human rights- and environment-related risks and violations with preventive and remedial measures, how to design risk- and violation-related measures, and how the German PST and amfori can provide support here. Participants will learn: - What does the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act expect from companies when it comes to prevention and remediation? - How can amfori’s and the German PST’s tools help businesses in implementing preventative and remedial action? - What preventative and remedial measures can companies take? Co-hosted by amfori and the German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles and supported by the German Governments’ Helpdesk on Business and Human Rights, this webinar is the sixth of a series on the obligations under the German Supply Chain Act and practical tools that can support companies in meeting their due diligence obligations.

Views from Munich: A confident display of innovation against a challenging backdrop

8 Sep 2023

ACEA

After the traditional two-year hiatus, IAA Mobility is back in full force this year – and at a crucial turning point for the European automotive industry. ACEA Director General, Sigrid de Vries, took the opportunity to share her thoughts live from Munich. Once again, the best and brightest from across the global automotive supply chain provided IAA delegates with a first-hand look into their newest vehicle models and technology. All in all, a diverse, high-tech display revealing just how fast the industry is evolving. This year’s edition was marked by the notable presence of next-generation all-electric vehicles and solutions – apt timing as the market share of battery-electric cars continues its ascent in Europe, now standing at around 13%. As Ms de Vries explains in this video – despite a challenging context – European manufacturers presented a confident display of the industry's leadership in electrification, digitalisation, and circularity. “European manufacturers are investing heavily in new drivetrain technologies while phasing out combustion engines,” she stated. “They are doing so while having to cope with large administrative burdens, high energy costs, high inflation, and other constraints, which make Europe naturally less competitive compared to others in the world.” “What we need from European policy makers is that they support these efforts by building an industrial strategy that really enables innovation and manufacturing in Europe, and that also enables mobility for all.”

The German National Security Strategy: It All Depends on the Implementation

5 Sep 2023

IIEA

According to Dr Kaim, strategies are tricky things: flowery words describe the big picture and in the end, no one really knows what these words actually mean in practice. This is how many of the 76 pages of the first German National Security Strategy read. The Scholz government has not developed any fundamentally new guidelines for its foreign and security policy – it has written down what it has already planned and what is already reality. Much of the Strategy remains vague so that all parties of the coalition can rally behind it, with the Chancellor and four ministers using the presentation of the strategy to send a signal of unity. Nevertheless, the National Security Strategy expands the conception of security beyond just diplomacy and the Bundeswehr to also encompass electricity and water resources, pharmaceutical supplies, and the supply chains for raw materials that industry relies upon. But whether this is more than just words is something the German Government must now show in its implementation of the strategy. About the Speaker: Dr Markus Kaim is Senior Fellow in the International Security Research Division at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP). He was Helmut Schmidt Fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States in Washington 2019-2020. He has taught as a Visiting Scholar at the Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies at Carleton University, Ottawa, as DAAD Professor for German and European Studies at the University of Toronto, and as Adjunct Professor of Foreign Policy and International Relations at the University of Konstanz. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Zurich, at the Hertie School of Governance, Berlin, and at the Bucerius Law School, Hamburg. Recorded on the 4th of September 2023
