Welcome to Germany - The place for your ideas

The "Germany - Land of Ideas" initiative and the Federal Foreign Office present a new film on Germany. Bearing the title "Welcome to Germany - The place for your ideas", the film introduces a range of people of varying nationalities, all residents of Germany, and depicts them in their work and living environments. Germany is more than simply a travel destination or trading partner. The film provides viewers around the world with impressions of an attractive country in which to work and study but also of a place where a person can feel at home in the long term. For highly qualified, skilled workers as much as anyone, Germany presents itself as a positive location in which to realise one's professional and private aspirations.

From 26 August to 1 September 2012, more than 40 international students, doctoral candidates and scientists participated in the 1^st DocMASE Summer School and the 1^st Integration Week for our new AMASE students organised by EUSMAT at Saarland University in order to get in contact and discuss Materials Sciences. 

This week was a great experience on an intercultural, scientific and personal level for both the participants and the organisers.

Mit der internationalen Doktorarbeit betritt die Saarbrücker Materialforschung Neuland. Bisher gab es dort nur im Studium die Möglichkeit, ein Auslandsjahr zu integrieren. Jetzt können auch Doktoranden der Materialwissenschaft gleichzeitig in Saarbrücken und an einer Universität in Barcelona, Nancy oder im schwedischen Lulea und Linköping forschen. Sie werden von Wissenschaftlern aus beiden Ländern betreut und verbringen mindestens ein halbes Jahr an der Partner-Universität. Auch die Verteidigung der Doktorarbeit erfolgt in beiden Ländern und wird entsprechend anerkannt. Das Docmase-Programm der Europäischen Schule für Materialforschung (Eusmat) unterstützt sie dabei. Dieses wird von der Europäischen Union über sieben Jahre mit rund sechs Millionen Euro gefördert.

The Intercultural Trainings, developped and offered by EUSMAT are adapted to the special needs of its students. They prepare the local and international students for situations in which intercultural competences are required. These situations can arise both during the studies and the professional life. The project is the result of a close cooperation between EUSMAT and the Chair of French Culture and Intercultural Communication at Saarland University.

Recently, the first ATLANTIS student, Benjamin Kelkel, successfully graduated from Oregon State University (pdf in German). After studying in Germany, Sweden and the USA, he now carries the first Transatlantic Bachelor double diploma from Saarland University and Oregon State University.
