  • EU Sports Policy: Assessment and Possible Ways Forward
    STUDY Requested by the CULT committee EU sports policy: assessment and possible ways forward Policy Department for Structural and Cohesion Policies Directorate-General for Internal Policies EN PE 652.251 - June 2021 3 RESEARCH FOR CULT COMMITTEE EU sports policy: assessment and possible ways forward Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU has been entitled to support, coordinate or complement Member States’ activities in sport. European sports policies of the past decade are characterised by numerous activities and by on-going differentiation. Against this backdrop, the study presents policy options in four key areas: the first covers the need for stronger coordination; the second aims at the setting of thematic priorities; the third addresses the reinforcement of the role of the EP in sport and the fourth stipulates enhanced monitoring. This document was requested by the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education.

This year’s conference comes with the well-known combination of education and science, however, we have extended the topics considerably – following recent years’ development within the fields of peripheral nerve and muscle ultrasound as well as in the field of ultrasound guided interventions. In addition, we will focus on topics overlapping with rheumatology and neurosurgery. Theory and research will be combined with educative live presentations. For our industrial exhibition we have called a wide spectrum of established as well as new companies on the market which will enable you to get a good impression of today’s diagnostic options. Our venue is located in the heart of the city – close to the historic campus of the Charité university teaching hospital – in walking distance to main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and to the Brandenburg gates – we have an excellent environment for study and for experiencing Berlin. Join us for the exchange of experiences, present and discuss your projects and research work, participate in our courses and refine your knowledge and skills!

  • 115 4.4 Erinnerungs
    4.4 Erinnerungs- und Gedenkrituale Abbildung 10 Kranzniederlegung am 20. Juli im Bendler-Block Wolfgang Thierse (2. Reihe, l.) läßt im Innenhof des Bendler-Blocks vor der Gedenktafel für die fünf am 20. Juli 1944 ermordeten Offiziere durch zwei Soldaten einen Kranz niederlegen. Kranzniederlegungen mit Beteiligung von Staatsgästen finden üblicherweise an einer der bei- den wichtigsten Gedenkstätten der BRD statt. In Berlin wurde nach einem längeren Diskussi- onsprozeß nach der Vereinigung die Neue Wache im historischen Zentrum der Stadt ›Unter den Linden‹ zur ›Zentralen Gedenkstätte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland‹ erklärt. Die vielen Facetten, die in der Historie dieser Stätte zu Tage treten, lassen sich hier nur kurz andeuten: Das Schinkelsche Bauwerk von 1817/18 - ursprünglich tatsächlich Wache für die umliegen- den Palais - diente ab 1931 als ›Reichsehrenmal für die Gefallenen des Ersten Weltkrieges‹. Nach seiner Zerstörung 1944 und dem Wiederaufbau zehn Jahre später wurde es 1962 in der DDR zur ›Gedenkstätte für die Opfer des Faschismus‹ und 1966 zum ›Mahnmal für die Opfer des Faschismus und Militarismus‹ - ausgestattet mit ständigem Ehrenposten und wöchentli- chem zeremoniellem Wachwechsel. Heute gibt anstelle der die Toten ehrenden Ewigen Flamme eine Plastik von Käthe Kollwitz, die eine Mutter mit ihrem im Krieg ermordeten Sohn in den Armen zeigt, eine Gelegenheit zum ›Blick von unten‹ auf den Krieg - aus dem 115 Blickwinkel der Leidenden. Diskussionen entsponnen sich mehrfach zwischen den für die Skulptur und ihre Aufstellung verantwortlichen Kollwitz-Erben mit ihrem Anliegen der Ent- militarisierung der Stätte im Kollwitzschen Geiste und den Notwendigkeiten militärisch- staatlicher Repräsentation, die an und in der Wache nach wie vor regelmäßig bei besonderen Anlässen stattfindet (Volkstrauertag, Kranzniederlegung durch einen Staatsgast).

  • 01-067 Foff Fed Eng News
    Federations What’s new in federalism worldwide volume 1, number 5, summer 2001 In this issue Is Europe heading towards a federal constitution? By Uwe Leonardy After German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer gave a controversial speech last year arguing for a more federal Europe, other leaders have now joined the debate about the value of a federal constitution for the expanding EU. The member states have already ceded some powers to the EU—how much more sovereignty are they willing to give up? State elections foretell a power shift at India’s centre By Prasenjit Maiti The state elections in May showed that, more than ever before, India’s national political parties have to form alliances with regional parties to maintain power. Can India’s central governments pursue a coherent agenda if they are beholden to this plurality of local interests? Education reform, school vouchers and privatization in the USA By Bill Berkowitz Education is President George W. Bush’s “marquee” issue. He made educational reforms the centrepiece of his governorship and of his election campaign. But the Bill that the House of Representatives recently passed altered some of his most cherished conservative proposals. Ethiopia: the challenge of many nationalities By Hashim Tewfik Mohammed Modern Ethiopian history has been characterized by internecine wars, famine, and economic deterioration. But in the past decade, there has been a consistent move, culminating in the adoption of a new constitution, towards giving self-government to the various ethnic groups and incorporating them into a consensual federal structure. Two new initiatives for reforming aboriginal governance in Canada By Paul Barnsley Most observers agree that the Canadian federal law dealing with aboriginal peoples is an antiquated hold-over from colonial times.
