  • North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India
    Page 1 of 13 Consulate General of India Frankfurt *** General and Bilateral Brief- North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) / India North Rhine-Westphalia, commonly shortened to NRW is the most populous state of Germany, with a population of approximately 18 million, and the fourth largest by area. It was formed in 1946 as a merger of the provinces of North Rhine and Westphalia, both formerly parts of Prussia, and the Free State of Lippe. Its capital is Düsseldorf; the largest city is Cologne. Four of Germany's ten largest cities—Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, and Essen— are located within the state, as well as the second largest metropolitan area on the European continent, Rhine-Ruhr. NRW is a very diverse state, with vibrant business centers, bustling cities and peaceful natural landscapes. The state is home to one of the strongest industrial regions in the world and offers one of the most vibrant cultural landscapes in Europe. Salient Features 1. Geography: The state covers an area of 34,083 km2 and shares borders with Belgium in the southwest and the Netherlands in the west and northwest. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and Hesse to the southeast. Thinking of North Rhine-Westphalia also means thinking of the big rivers, of the grassland, the forests, the lakes that stretch between the Eifel hills and the Teutoburg Forest range. The most important rivers flowing at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: the Rhine, the Ruhr, the Ems, the Lippe, and the Weser.

    Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification Gunther M. Hega Department of Political Science Western Michigan University 1903 W. Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5346 E-mail: [email protected] 1. Draft -- October 22, 2003 Please do not quote without the author’s permission Paper to be presented at the Conference on “Europeanization and Integration” EU Center of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, October 24 – 25, 2003 Abstract: Between Reformstau and Modernisierung: The Reform of German Federalism since Unification This paper examines the changes of the German federal system and the role of the 16 states (Länder) in national politics and policy-making in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1990. In particular, the study focuses on the response of the German Federal Council (Bundesrat), the chamber of the national parliament which represents the Länder, to the processes of German unification and European integration in the last decade. The paper starts from the assumption that the Federal Council has been the chief beneficiary among the Federal Republic's political institutions of the trends toward "unitary federalism" at the domestic level and a "federal Europe" at the international level. Due to the evolution of cooperative federalism with its interlocking policies, the changes in the party system and coalition politics, and, in particular, the twin processes of German unification and European integration, the Bundesrat has gained additional, special powers by assuring the inclusion of the "subsidiarity principle" in both the German Constitution (the Basic Law) and the Maastricht Treaty on European Union. The amended Article 23 of the Basic Law and the Maastricht Treaty's Article 3b strengthen the participation of the Federal Council and the 16 German states in national and European policymaking.

    Information and communications technology in North Rhine-Westphalia Facts. Figures. www.nrwglobalbusiness.com Information and communications technology in North Rhine-Westphalia Data: as at September 2020 2 Information and communications technology in North Rhine-Westphalia Facts & figures In North Rhine-Westphalia, information and communications technologies (ICT) are driving the digital transformation of the entire economy. This is where entre- preneurs, researchers and investors, find the ICT know-how to help shape the de- velopment of Industry 4.0. With its innovations, the NRW’s ICT sector provides new opportunities for value creation and employment and is itself an economic heavyweight. No other federal state has such a high density of companies in this sector, ranging from medium-sized IT companies to software start-ups and tele- communications giants. The more than 24,600 ICT companies in the state employed around 239,000 people and generated sales of 127 billion euros (2018). This cor- responds to over 18 percent of NRW's gross domestic product. The IT sector alone, with its almost 22,100 companies and over 204,000 employ- ees, recorded sales of over EUR 50 billion. In the telecommunications sector, the most important German telecommunica- tions providers (Deutsche Telekom AG, Vodafone Group and Telefónica (Deutschland) are based in NRW. With Ericsson and Huawei, the major network equipment providers for the upcoming 5G mobile communications standard are also based in North Rhine-Westphalia, and Oppo, the world's number five mo- bile communications equipment manufacturer, is opening its future European headquarters in Düsseldorf. In addition, the North Rhine-Westphalian IT sector includes well-established companies such as the Harting Technology Group, G Data Software AG Materna Information & Communication SE, Adesso AG, to name but a few.

  • The Education System in the Federal Republic of Germany 2017/2018
    The Education System in the Federal Republic of Germany 2017/2018 A description of the responsibilities, structures and developments in education policy for the exchange of information in Europe – EXCERPT – 11. QUALITY ASSURANCE 11.1. Introduction The debate about evaluation in the education system, in other words the systematic assessment of organisational structures, teaching and learning processes and per- formance criteria with a view to improving quality, did not start in Germany until the end of the 1980s, later than in other European countries. Although the actual concept of evaluation may not yet have been institutionalised before, this does not mean that no control mechanisms existed. State supervisory authorities for schools and higher education, statistical surveys carried out by the Federal Statistical Office and by the Statistical Offices of the Länder as well as educational research in insti- tutes that are subordinate to federal or Land ministries or jointly funded by the Fed- eral Government and the Länder are used for quality assurance and evaluation pur- poses. Within the school system, the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder (Kultusministerkonferenz – KMK), in the so-called Konstanzer Beschluss of October 1997, took up quality assurance processes that had already been introduced in several Länder in the school sector and declared these a central issue for its work. Since then the Länder have developed evaluation instru- ments in the narrower sense which may be employed depending on the objective. In 2003 and 2004, educational standards were adopted for the primary sector, the Hauptschulabschluss and the Mittlerer Schulabschluss.
