  • Newcomer Broschuere 2020-21
    Privatschule der Deutschen Botschaft Ankara Ernst-Reuter-Schule NEWCOMERBROSCHÜRE 2020-2021 HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN IN ANKARA Hoş Geldiniz! Ankara - Hauptstadt der modernen Türkei Ankara, seit dem 13. Oktober 1923 die Hauptstadt der Türkei, liegt in Zentralanatoli- en. Historisch bekannt als Angora, ist Ankara heute die zweitgrößte Stadt der Türkei mit einer Bevölkerungszahl von ca. 5,4 Millionen. Im Jahr 1923 hatte Ankara etwa 30.000 Einwohner, 50 Jahre später 1,5 Mio. 1980 wurden 2,3 Mio. Einwohner gezählt. Im Jahr 2008 zählte die Stadt 4 Mio. Einwohner. Keine Stadtverwaltung hätte bei diesem Wachstum die Chance, im Bereich der Infra- struktur (Straßenbau, Strom-und Wasserversorgung etc.) mit dieser Entwicklung Schritt zu halten. Die Wasserversorgung stellt für die Millionenstadt mit halbtrocke- nem Kontinentalklima das schwierigste Problem dar, das aber durch das Anlegen von Stauseen, die zugleich heute auch Naherholungsgebiete sind, gelöst werden konnte. Ankara erstreckt sich über viele Hügel und Berge, tiefe, schluchtartige Täler gliedern das Stadtbild. Die Hauptstadt der Türkei liegt auf einer Höhe zwischen 850 m und 1200 m, im Bereich der Wasserscheide des südlich gelegenen Elma Daği. In Ankara herrscht kontinentales Klima vor mit heißen, trockenen Sommern (Tempe- raturwerte von 35-40°C, der Temperaturdurchschnitt liegt bei 30°C) und kalten Win- tern mit Schneefall (Temperaturen im Minusgradbereich können sogar bis -20°C in den Keller gehen, aber der Durchschnittswert liegt bei -4°C). Regenfälle gibt es meist im Frühjahr oder Herbst. Der Flughafen ESB findet sich im Norden der Stadt, ca. 25 km von der ERS, der Stadtteil Ulus ist das historische Zentrum, in dem die Zitadelle zu finden ist.

INVITED SPEAKERS 12 Years impact to health and sport past – presence - future Norbert Bachl EFSMA-President, Faculty for Sports Science and University Sports, University Vienna Since the European Federation of Sports Medicine was founded in 1997, EFSMA was developing both in the number of member countries and also in different wide spread sport medicine activities. EFSMA at the moment has 41 member countries, has excellent relations to FIMS, IOC, EOC, ECSS and other international federations and has organized through its member countries - including the European Congress in Antalya - up to now 6 successful European Congresses of Sports Medicine. One very important task is the cooperation with UEMS with the final goal to have sports medicine recognized as a specialty within the EU. EFSMA had applied to create e Multidisciplinary Joint Committee (MJC) of sports medicine within the UEMS and was successful. Then a curriculum for the education of sports medicine was worked out, which was recognized by all the sections and the respective board of UEMS. At the moment EFSMA is active to settle up all the necessary preconditions for the training centres and trainees. From the European perspective 20 European countries at the moment have sports medicine recognized as a specialty and 15 as sub-specialty, within the EU the numbers are 11 for specialisation and 7 for sub-specialisation. To be recognized within the EU, we need two fifths of the EU member countries with the specialty of sports medicine. Following these achievements, challenges and perspectives for the future are discussed with regard to the areas research, practical sports medicine, education and international relations.
