INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to advise committee of an invitation received from the Provost of Wunsiedel District in Germany for two senior representatives from North Lanarkshire Council to participate in meetings with youth services providers and Wunsiedel district representatives to develop arrangements for a youth exchange programme. 2, BACKGROUND International experiences for young people are considered to be an important aspect of learning. It fosters citizenship, intercultural dialogue and, most importantly, provides an experience for young people with limited opportunities. Seventeen communities and 80000 people share the attractive landscape which forms the District of Wunsiedel, Situated in Northern Bavaria and bordering Saxony and the Czech Republic, the area is characterized by high mountains and large forests. Large cities with their industrial and cultural infrastructure exist alongside the natural beauty of the rural parts of the district, Wunsiedel is a place which fosters innovation and creativity. It is the home of the German porcelain industry and the products of the district set international standards in production, method and design. Manufacturers of electrical goods, ceramics, industrial and domestic machinery, have all located to this part of Franconia. Wunsiedel District has a long history of international youth exchanges spanning 50 years. They are seeking to develop a new exchange partnership with North Lanarkshire Council to compliment their exchange programme with other areas in Europe. Previously North Lanarkshire Council supported a programme of exchanges. However there are no active youth exchange programmes currently in place. A small delegation from Wunsiedel District recently visited North Lanarkshire to open the dialogue on an exchange programme. An invitation has now been received from the provost of Wunsiedel District to the council for two senior representatives to participate in meetings to further consider the opportunities for the development of a partnership to support an exchange programme. It is proposed this visit take place in December 2012. 65 3. CORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS Financial Implications The cost associated with accepting this invitation will be met from existing learning and leisure services resources. Learning and leisure services will, in partnership I with Wunsiedel District, seek external funding to support the development of the exchange programme itself. 4. RECOMMENDATIONS The learning and leisure services committee is asked to approve acceptance of the invitation from the provost of Weinsiedel for two senior representatives of the council to participate in meetings to develop a partnership to support a programme of international youth exchanges. i i 66 I .

  • Konkrete Maßnahmen Der Flächensparoffensive in Bayern
    18. Wahlperiode 18.09.2020 Drucksache 18/9291 Schriftliche Anfrage des Abgeordneten Christian Zwanziger BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN vom 04.05.2020 Konkrete Maßnahmen der Flächensparoffensive in Bayern Die von der Staatsregierung beschlossene Flächensparoffensive strebt die Reduktion der Flächeninanspruchnahme zu Siedlungs- und Verkehrszwecken an. Laut Pressemit- teilung (Nr. 153, vom 16.07.2019) der Staatskanzlei im Bericht aus der Kabinettsitzung gibt die Staatsregierung in einem Maßnahmenkatalog vor, dass über das benötigte Maß hinaus keine Flächen mehr verbraucht, ein flächendeckendes Leerstandsmanagement zur Erfassung leer stehender Gebäude oder unbebauter Grundstücke im Innenbereich von Dörfern oder Städten eingeführt und Flächensparmanagerinnen und -manager zur koordinierenden und beratenden Tätigkeit eingesetzt werden sollen (S. 3). Die Broschü- re „Flächensparoffensive“ der Staatsregierung zeigt bisher jedoch nur exemplarisch ausgewählte Best-Practice-Beispiele aus den bayerischen Kommunen und Landkrei- sen auf. Es bleibt bisher unklar, welche Wirkung die Initiative in der Praxis tatsächlich hinsichtlich des Ziels, die Flächenneuinanspruchnahme zu reduzieren, entfalten wird. Ich frage die Staatsregierung: 1.) a In welchen bayerischen Kommunen gibt es nach Kenntnis der Staats- regierung vergleichbare Beispiele zum Best-Practice-Beispiel der baye- rischen Flächensparoffensive (siehe Broschüre „Flächensparoffensive“, S. 13) „Altes Garmisch neu gelebt“ in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, bei dem durch Umnutzung einer Fläche ein Baugemeinschaftsprojekt

  • Siemens to Build Large CO2-Free Hydrogen Production Plant in Southern Germany
    Press Zug, 25 September 2020 Siemens to build large CO2-free hydrogen production plant in southern Germany • Hydrogen production solely from renewable energy • Exclusive hydrogen source for northern Bavaria and the border region in Czech Republic • Cross-sector use of renewable energy as a model for the future Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year and commissioning at the end of 2021. Germany has pledged to be greenhouse gas-neutral by 2050. To this end, all sectors that use energy, such as transportation and industry, must press ahead with decarbonization. The plant in Wunsiedel will serve as a model for all of Germany. It will convert the renewable energy available in this region, e.g., from photovoltaics and wind power, into storable hydrogen (H2), making it available for applications in mobility and industry. This is especially useful when, on sunny and windy days, more energy from renewable sources is produced than needed. The electrolysis plant will be built in the Wunsiedel Energy Park next to the Siemens manufactured battery storage facility already in operation, complementing the forward-looking energy concept.

These in turn are used to heat approximately operates as needed. In winter, all three engines run under full load 30,000 detached houses. during daytime. On the weekend, only one cogeneration power plant module continues to operate in order to cover the internal demand. The sawdust is a byproduct of sawmills and other wood-processing businesses in and around the region of Upper Franconia. In the new The “old” plant is equipped with a biomass cogeneration power plant pellet plant in Wunsiedel, the sawdust is dried and pressed in pellet with ORC turbine.

    Causal analysis of Covid-19 spread in Germany Atalanti A. Mastakouri Department of Empirical Inference Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Tübingen, Germany [email protected] Bernhard Schölkopf Department of Empirical Inference Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Tübingen, Germany [email protected] Abstract In this work, we study the causal relations among German regions in terms of the spread of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, taking into account the restriction policies that were applied by the different federal states. We propose and prove a new theorem for a causal feature selection method for time series data, robust to latent confounders, which we subsequently apply on Covid-19 case numbers. We present findings about the spread of the virus in Germany and the causal impact of restriction measures, discussing the role of various policies in containing the spread. Since our results are based on rather limited target time series (only the numbers of reported cases), care should be exercised in interpreting them. However, it is encouraging that already such limited data seems to contain causal signals. This suggests that as more data becomes available, our causal approach may contribute towards meaningful causal analysis of political interventions on the development of Covid-19, and thus also towards the development of rational and data-driven methodologies for choosing interventions. 1 Introduction arXiv:2007.11896v2 [stat.AP] 3 Aug 2020 The ongoing outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has rendered the tracking of the virus spread a problem of major importance, in order to better understand the role of the demographics and of political measures taken to contain the virus.
