During two days of intensive work, the Innovation Society Conference in Munich vividly demonstrated how cities and regions can collaborate with key regional innovators to get the most out of their future potential and keep a sharp competitive edge in the long run – even in the face of stiff global competition. These proceedings are based on abridged versions and summaries of the speeches and presentations. The full text of the presentations is posted in the download section of the conference website: www.innovationsociety2008.de. The work of the Innovation Alliance is far from over. The conference revealed a number of possibilities for regional cooperation in fostering innovation. The series of Innovation Society conferences, in particular, will continue. The Mayor of Budapest is firmly committed to hosting the next conference in 2009; the Øresund Science Region and the Wielkopolska Region have expressed their willingness to organize the subsequent Innovation Society conferences in 2010 and 2011. At the Munich conference, a variety of cooperation projects, project proposals and ideas were presented and discussed. I am convinced that these contributions will lay the foundation for fruitful work within the Innovation Alliance going forward. Special thanks go to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for hosting the conference and for their excellent collaboration. I would also like to express my gratitude to the members of the Innovation Alliance Steering Committee for their valuable support in the run-up to this conference. Thank you again for coming to Munich! Dr. Reinhard Wieczorek Dr. Reinhard Wieczorek www.innovationsociety2008.de CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 5 Welcome addresses Peter Driessen Deputy Managing Director, Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria A warm welcome to all of you here at the Munich Chamber of Industry and Commerce; and a special welcome to Annemarie Moons, Vice Governor of Noord-Brabant, and to Christian Ude, Mayor of Munich. This, the third Innovation Society Conference, is intended to provide an overview of best practices in innovative regions. It is our pleasure and privilege to support the Innovation Society in its efforts to foster innovation in the participating regions and to transfer innovative models from one region to another. The Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria is the largest in Germany and the second-largest in Europe, just behind the Paris CCI. We represent the interests of 310,000 enterprises. We are also part of the Bavarian cluster campaign known by the name "Allianz Bayern Innovativ" ("Bavarian Innovation Alliance"). Launched two years ago by the Bavarian government, this initiative aims to give Bavarian companies a keener competitive edge. To this end, 19 trend-setting industries were chosen – one of them being the environmental technology industry. The Munich Chamber and the other Bavarian Chambers are jointly responsible for the "Bavarian Environmental Technology Cluster". We also play a part in financing various business incubators and technology centers in the Munich Metropolitan Region. These locations provide entrepreneurs with an ideal productive environment in which to start new companies and establish contacts with research institutes and other organizations. In addition, we advise both innovative start-ups and established com- panies on innovation funding programs, support programs, intellectual property issues, tech- nology transfer and innovation management. Last but not least, we organize and support events such as the Innovation Society Conference. The Munich Metropolitan Region is widely known to be one of the foremost high-tech regions in Germany. It is also very highly regarded in Europe. The Bavarian capital is the leading venue for the aerospace and satellite navigation industries, information and communication technology, media and the life sciences. Over 50 percent of all the region's industrial compa- nies operate in high-tech sectors such as automotive engineering, electronics and mechani- cal engineering. That is typical of Munich's business landscape, which boasts an excellent mix of industries and services, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as global players, and a rich diversity of research institutes and other organizations. Let me give you three examples of leading industries in the Munich Metropolitan Region: • Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals • Aerospace & satellite navigation • Information, communication & media 6 3rd INTERNATIONAL INNOVATION SOCIETY CONFERENCE · Munich · May 29–30, 2008 In these three industries, we and the City of Munich have conducted a variety of scientific studies. The first example concerns biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. The Swiss company Roche operates a plant in Penzberg, about fifty kilometers south of Munich. This plant is one of the largest biotech centers in Europe, employing more than 4,100 people. Biotechnology methods are used here to develop and produce pharmaceuticals and diagnostic agents. At the same time, more than 100 small and midsized biotech companies are now based in the Munich Metropolitan Region, most of them in Martinsried near Munich. These companies deliver innovative ideas and new products to global players such as Roche. The Martinsried cluster ranks second in Europe, after the London-Cambridge region. The aerospace industry provides the second example. Aerospace is a classic high-tech, research-intensive industry. As such, it is constantly generating significant technological stimulus for other industries. Satellite navigation is emerging as a sunrise industry with the potential to become a key sector in the coming years. Boasting 234 companies and seven respected research institutes, the Munich region is one of Europe's top business locations for aviation, astronautics and satellite navigation. One of the world's leading aeronautic and space research centers is the DLR German Aerospace Center at Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. Last but not least, Munich is also a prime location for the media industry and for the information and communication industry. These industries are growing at a faster rate than other economic sectors, especially in and around Munich. In late 2006, more than 27,000 companies operated in these industries. There is a good reason why so many innovative companies are concentrated in the Munich Metropolitan Region: Compared to the rest of Germany, Bavaria has a unique R&D structure. Nearly 260,000 students are enrolled at 11 universities, 17 universities of applied sciences and a number of private establishments. Numerous centers of excellence for life sciences and engineering have also emerged over the years. In addition, several well-known non-university R&D organizations have institutes and, in some cases, their headquarters in Bavaria. They include the Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers, the Fraunhofer Society for Applied Research and the Leibniz Association. This unrivaled R&D structure is one reason why top global players are attracted to Munich. A

    Press Release Ensuring a secure gas supply: bayernets GmbH celebrates the commissioning of the MONACO natural gas pipeline Munich, 5 April 2019. – Today, together with the Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger, bayernets GmbH celebrated the commissioning of the MONACO natural gas pipeline in the community of Finsing (in the Erding district). The MONACO pipeline has been in operation since December 2018 and runs from the German-Austrian border in Burghausen to Finsing near Munich. It is one of the largest pipeline construction projects in the gas industry in southern Germany. “We want an overall concept for a secure, affordable and sustainable energy supply. Natural gas plays a significant role in this concept. In order to balance out the volatility, we need regional and climate-friendly gas power stations in addition to developing renewable energy. These power stations must be able to rely on a secure supply of natural gas. Among other things, the MONACO pipeline makes an important contribution to achieving this security of supply to Bavaria”, said Bavaria’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger. “We are very proud as a company that we could successfully commission the MONACO natural gas pipeline at the end of last year as planned. With the MONACO pipeline we increase the security of supply for Bavaria and the whole South German region. MONACO makes a significant contribution to meeting increasing demand for gas shipping capacity in Germany and Europe by connecting national and international transmission systems”, explained Dr. Matthias Jenn, Managing Director of bayernets GmbH. The underground pipeline has a total length of approx.

    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

    ROOTED IN THE DARK OF THE EARTH: BAVARIA’S PEASANT-FARMERS AND THE PROFIT OF A MANUFACTURED PARADISE by MICHAEL F. HOWELL (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT Pre-modern, agrarian communities typified Bavaria until the late-19th century. Technological innovations, the railroad being perhaps the most important, offered new possibilities for a people who had for generations identified themselves in part through their local communities and also by their labor and status as independent peasant-farmers. These exciting changes, however, increasingly undermined traditional identities with self and community through agricultural labor. In other words, by changing how or what they farmed to increasingly meet the needs of urban markets, Bavarian peasant-farmers also changed the way that they viewed the land and ultimately, how they viewed themselves ― and one another. Nineteenth- century Bavarian peasant-farmers and their changing relationship with urban markets therefore serve as a case study for the earth-shattering dangers that possibly follow when modern societies (and individuals) lose their sense of community by sacrificing their relationship with the land.

    QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 “THE THERAPY MADE SENSE. MY KNEE IS BACK IN SHAPE FOR MY SHOW GIPFELTREFFEN – AND MY FINGERS FOR MUSIC.” WERNER SCHMIDBAUER WERNER SCHMIDBAUER PRESENTER AND SINGER-SONGWRITER YOU WERE LOOKING AROUND FOR A SUITABLE REHA BILI TATION CLINIC BEFORE YOUR CRUCIAL KNEE OPERATION. YOU QUICKLY CHOSE THE MEDICAL PARK CHIEMSEE REHABILITATION CLINIC IN BERNAU- FELDEN. WHY? The facility exudes great calm; this is wonderful and was absolutely the right decision. Everybody, from the head doctor to the cleaning staff, was incredibly nice. To this day, I only have the best memories of my stay. WAS THE DECISION ALSO STRAIGHTFORWARD BECAUSE, ALONGSIDE ORTHOPAEDICS, THE CLINIC SPECIALISES IN SPORTS MEDICINE – A VERY IMPORTANT AREA FOR YOU? Yes. I was a triple jumper and skier during my youth. To this day I present a programme for Bavarian TV in which I climb a mountain with celebrities. It is good to know that the doctors and therapists there are also specialists in this area. And what is equally important is that the Medical Park Chiemsee rehabilitation clinic also employs psychologists. Until my stay there, I had no clue that they could be important. I have a foreign object in my body – a so-called bicon- dylar sledge prosthesis – which has stabilised my knee, but which caused me mental stress. I immediately received psychological support, which helped me enormously. FOLLOWING YOUR FIVE-WEEK STAY, YOU WERE AN OUT- PATIENT OF THE MEDICAL PARK CHIEMSEE REHABILITATION CLINIC FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. To begin with, I travelled to Bernau two to three times a week to restrengthen my muscles and to make the ligaments in my knee more resilient.
