This report will show you that not only is Vienna Austria’s most important life science hot spot, it is also highly rated by global players. The report includes a wealth of up-to-date facts, figures and interesting examples. The life science business in the heart of Europe is growing, as the following figures clearly show. In total, the report refers to 554 life science organizations in Vienna, employing 37,595 people in 2017. This represents significant growth by comparison with 35,730 em- ployees in 2014. The annual sales figures of Vienna’s life science companies have increased by 23 percent to € 12.2 billion. As you will learn in more detail from reading this publication, Vienna provides an excellent hub for start-ups. The report refers to 51 new companies founded in the city between 2015 and 2017.

  • European Train Names: a Historic Outline Christian Weyers
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA European Train Names: a Historic Outline* Christian Weyers DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.201 Abstract This paper gives a first overview of the onomastic category of train names, searches to classify the corpus and reviews different stages of their productivity. Apart from geographical names (toponyms, choronyms, compass directions) generally indicating points of origin and destination of the trains in question, a considerable number of personal names have entered this category, of classical literary authors, musicians and scientists, but also of many fictional or non-fictional characters taken from literature or legendary traditions. In some cases also certain symbolic attributes of these persons and finally even heraldic figures have given their names to trains. In terms of their functionality, train names originally were an indicator of exclusiveness and high grade of travel quality, but they developed gradually, as they dispersed over the European continent, into a rather unspecific, generalized appellation, also for regional and local trains. After two periods of prosperity after 1950, the privatisation of railway companies starting in the 1990s had again a very positive effect on the category, as the number of named trains initially reached a new record in this decade. ***** The first train names appeared in England in the 1860s in addition to names for steam locomotives, and on two different levels. The Special Scotch Express between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh (inaugurated in 1862) was called by the public The Flying Scotsman from the 1870s, but it succeeded as the official name not before 1924. Also the names of the German diesel trainsets Der Fliegende Hamburger and Der Fliegende Kölner were colloquial name creations, as were the Train Bleu and the Settebello operated from 1922 and 1953 but officially named in 1947 and 1958, respectively.

  • Sustainability Report 2012 Ac Milan Group
    SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2012 AC MILAN GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2012 AC MILAN GROUP Dear Stakeholder, Our society is going through a period of profound transformation: economic balances quickly change with a strong impact on enterprises and people’s wealth; the rapid dissemination of multimedia tools is significantly affecting the quality of social relationships. Enterprises, in whichever industry they operate, represent the core of this system, and for this reason, regardless of their size, they should make their choices in a socially responsible way, laying down the foundations for a sustainable long-term development. This requires an important rethinking process in relation to one’s Mission and consequently to one’s business model that must take due account of the multiple cross-interests of the various types of stakeholders. If this is generally true, it is even truer for sport and in particular for football. Just consider that there are more countries affiliated to FIFA than to the UNO. This testifies the unquestionable universality and importance of this discipline, not only within the sports world or economically, but above all in terms of social value. AC Milan, aware of the values they represent globally, have undertaken a comprehensive process of corporate social responsibility by leveraging on the value and cultural assets of their history. AC Milan firmly believe indeed in the social value of football, capable of creating dreams, feelings, expectations and values for millions of people. Following this direction, we have thus decided, as one of the first top international football clubs to do so, to make available the reporting of accounting practices and principles of social responsibility that guide our business and our way of doing entertainment.

  • Ein Star Wird Geboren. 60 Jahre VT 11.5 Und TEE
    Ein Star wird geboren. 60 Jahre VT 11.5 und TEE Zum 60. Jubiläum dieses Eisenbahn-Kultobjektes und des TEE-Verkehrs schauen wir auf seine reiche und wechselvolle Geschichte zurück. Mitte der 1950er Jahre nahm die Wirtschaft in Europa wieder Fahrt auf, die westeuropäischen Länder begannen nach den Verwüstungen des Zweiten Weltkrieges neue Beziehungen zu knüpfen.In diesem Zusammenhang beschlossen acht europäische Bahngesellschaften ein gemeinsames Zugangebot einzuführen: den Trans-Europ-Express, kurz TEE. Das moderne Schnellzugnetz sollte die europäischen Metropolen miteinander verbinden und speziell den zahlungskräftigen Geschäftsreisenden der Wirtschaftswunderzeit eine Alternative zum Auto- und Luftverkehr bieten. Für dieses neuartige Verkehrssystem beschaffte die Deutsche Bundesbahn mehrere Triebzüge mit Triebwagen vom Typ VT 11.5, die im Juni 1957 in Betrieb genommen wurden, später kamen auch lokbespannte Züge zum Einsatz. Mit dieser Entscheidung schrieb die DB Geschichte. 15 Jahre lang waren die deutschen Dieseltriebzüge als TEE im Einsatz und prägten das Image des internationalen Schnellzugverkehrs wie keine andere Zuggarnitur. TEE-Zug (VT 11.5) im Hauptbahnhof Frankfurt am Main, um 1960. Symbol für ein Europa ohne Grenzen Eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit den europäischen Nachbarn war von Beginn an von großer Bedeutung für die Deutsche Bundesbahn. Beispielhaft steht dafür die im Jahr 1951 zunächst mit den Französischen Staatsbahnen gegründete europäische Güterwagengemeinschaft „EUROP“, wodurch ein umfangreicher, frei verfügbarer europäischer Güterwagen-Pool entstand. Drei Jahre später einigte sich die DB mit den meisten europäischen Bahngesellschaften darauf, künftig im Personenreiseverkehr nur noch zwei, im Komfort angeglichene Wagenklassen zu führen. Ein weiteres Ergebnis der wachsenden (west)europäischen Kooperation war die Gründung des europäischen Schnellzugnetzes TEE. Die Entwicklung begann 1954 mit der Gründung der Trans-Europ-Express-Kommission mit Sitz in Den Haag.
