			<content:encoded><![CDATA[They develop a pocket-size medical microscope from a smartphone, analyze the behaviour of football fans in the stadium based on the principle of swarm intelligence, or invent a mucking-out machine for horse stables – in other words, original solutions for everyday activities. When Germany’s most talented young scientists present their research results at the “Jugend forscht” Competition, they cover almost the whole spectrum of scientific-technical fields.
“Jugend forscht” is the largest European science competition for young people in the areas of: the working world, biology, chemistry, geo and space sciences, mathematics and computer science, physics and technology. The contest of young ideas is now coming to its climax in Erfurt, where the finals take place from May 17 to 20, 2012. At the 47th nationwide competition, which is running under the motto “We like what you have in your mind”, the winners from the regional competitions will join in the meeting of “the best of the best”: 187 young researchers from throughout Germany will be presenting more than 100 projects during the four-day competition. For instance, there will be an appliance created by three young talents that helps blind and deaf people to communicate by transferring the letters of words to special points in the palm of the hand and the fingers via vibrations. 
The record number of entries in 2012 highlights the increasing enthusiasm of young people in Germany for the contest: 10,914 young scientists have entered the most well-known young talent competition in Germany – more than ever before in the 47-year history of “Jugend forscht”. “In Germany we have a huge treasure trove of young scientific-technological talents. The entries record shows just how attractive ‘Jugend forscht’ is among school students and trainees,” says Sven Baszio, managing director of the Jugend forscht Foundation.<br /><br />© <link http://www.magazin-deutschland.de>www.magazin-deutschland.de</link>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Greco, the Greek. Master of Spanish Mannerism and the outgoing Renaissance. The first time his works caused a sensation was in Düsseldorf, 100 years ago, when the artists of the Blauer Reiter recognized him as one of the father figures of Modernism. Now the old master can be seen together with his admirers at the Museum Kunstpalast. About 100 works by painters like Cézanne, Picasso, Beckmann, Macke and Marc throw a modern light on El Greco's oeuvre (until 12 August 2012).<br /><br />Photograph: Volker Döhne, Kunstmuseen Krefeld]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[A visit to the German Pavilion at Expo 2012 is a bit like a present-day adventure in the style of Jules Verne’s science fiction novel “Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea”. People who take a virtual dive with a research submarine to discover the greatest ecosystem on earth may well feel like Captain Nemo aboard the Nautilus. The technically sophisticated animation of a voyage of discovery into the ocean depths is one of the attractions at the German presentation from May 12 to August 12, 2012 at the world exhibition in the South Korean coastal city of Yeosu. <br /><br />The theme of the world exhibition is “The living Ocean and Coast”. It is a mixture of stunning experiences and top scientific-technological achievement, with more than 100 nations and international organisations taking part. The German Pavilion is welcoming its visitors under the motto “Seavolution” to a show of future-oriented technologies, projects and processes from Germany, all of which revolve around various aspects of the Expo theme in an informative and entertaining way.<br /><br />Environmentally friendly ships, Tsunami early warning systems, offshore wind parks, tidal power stations and deep sea exploration probes: on their tour of the German Pavilion visitors can get to know some of these innovations that have been developed in Germany. Three major themes form the core of the German show: “Coasts”, “Biotope” and “Treasure Chamber”. The “Coasts” area (photograph) is designed like a beach landscape and presents themes that shape life on the coast – such as the UNESCO world cultural heritage site, the Wadden Sea – and waters close to coastal areas. The second area of the exhibition centres on the oceans as the greatest ecosystem for animal and plant life. The “Biotope” area warns of the dangers resulting from overfishing and pollution from rubbish. Finally, the “Treasure Chamber” is dedicated to the rich resources and raw materials on the ocean bed and shows how these maritime natural resources can be exploited with care in the future. <br /><br />© <link http://www.magazin-deutschland.de>www.magazin-deutschland.de</link>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In 2011, 57% of all exports (in terms of quantity) to other Member States of the European Union (EU) were transported by road.
As reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), that mode of transport, leading by a wide margin, was followed by other important modes such as inland waterways transport (8%) and firmly installed transport equipment like pipelines and power supply lines (7%).
Maritime transport and rail transport each accounted for 6% of the transport modes used for exportation purposes. However, less than 1% of all exports were transported by air to other EU Member States.

			<title>Less than three million out of work in Germany</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In March 2012, a total of 41.2 million persons were in employment whose place of residence was in Germany. As the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) further reports, this means that the positive trend on the labour market continued. The number of persons in employment was by 572,000 above the level of the previous year. The number of unemployed was about 2.31 million in March 2012, which was a decrease of 418,000 from March 2011. 
According to provisional results of employment accounts, the number of persons in employment rose by 1.4% in March 2012 on March 2011. This was the same growth rate as in February 2012, after a rise of 1.5% in January 2012. Compared with February 2012, the number of persons in employment increased by 102,000 or 0.2% in March 2012 as a result of the start of the spring recovery. In a long-term comparison, this development was above average (the average over the last ten years being an increase of 58,000 in a March month as compared with the previous month). After seasonal adjustment, that is, after the elimination of the usual seasonal fluctuations, there was an increase of 37,000 people (+0.1%). 
In addition to the first calculation of the number of persons in employment for the reference month of March 2012, the monthly employment results published so far were recalculated for the year 2011 and the months of January and February 2012. The recalculation of the monthly results produced year-on-year rates of change which differ slightly for some months – on the level of the overall economy not more than 0.1 percentage points – compared to the previous calculation results. 
According to results of the labour force survey, the number of unemployed was down by 15.4% in March 2012 on March 2011. It declined by 418,000 to 2.31 million. Compared with February 2012, the number of unemployed decreased by 177,000 people or 7.2%. When adjusted for seasonal and irregular effects, the number of unemployed rose by 16,000 to 2.38 million (+0.4%) compared with the previous month.
The adjusted unemployment rate was 5.6% in March 2012. Thus it declined by 0.6 percentage points on March 2011. Compared with February 2012, the unemployment rate remained unchanged.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Labour productivity per person in employment in Germany rose 22.7% between 1991 and 2011. As also reported by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) on the occasion of International Labour Day, labour productivity per hour worked by persons in employment increased even by 34.8%.
The reason is that, over the last 20 years, the average number of hours worked per person in employment in Germany has decreased by 9.0%.
Overall labour productivity is calculated by dividing the price adjusted gross domestic product by the number of persons in employment (employees and self-employed) or by hours worked.

			<title>Berlin 2.0</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Blogs, social media and digital society: thousands of bloggers and Internet users are gathering at the “re:publica” conference in Berlin from May 2 to 4, 2012. The event, which is seen by Web 2.0 fans and experts in Germany as the most important forum, is offering a programme of around 200 hours with talks, workshops and panel discussions. 
This year’s “re:publica” motto “action” is also the opener of the “Berlin Web Week” where another conference is taking place on May 8 and 9. Here, the “Next Berlin” conference is a major event for the digital economy sector headed by the key theme: “Meet.Connect.Inspire”. One main aspect of “re:publica“ 2012 is the debate surrounding the interplay between social networks and political protest movements. Other themes include mobility, resource distribution and interactive design. “Although ‘re:publica’ is political, it is not exclusively so. Our definition of ‘action’ also includes doing things independently,” says Markus Beckedahl, an influential blogger and co-initiator of the Internet conference, as he explains the idea behind “re:publica”. 
The web conference illustrates the “do-it-yourself” idea, for instance with workshops such as the “Open Design City”. Visitors to this workshop can experiment with 3-D printers, a technology that offers entirely new manufacturing possibilities. To put it simply, the vision works like this: the computer calculates the 3-D image of any chosen object. A special printer then constructs the solid form by gradually adding successive layers of plastic. Creative pioneers, such as Bas van Abel from the Netherlands, think that this technology will revolutionize future production processes: more and more people are departing from the idea of simply being consumers. They want to determine what things will look like, or how they are manufactured. Bas van Abel is presenting his 2.0 production ideas at “re:publica”. 
“re:publica” guests from abroad will include eleven international bloggers. They are taking part in the one-week “Blogger Tour 2012” which has again been organized by the Federal Foreign office this year. Their tour agenda also includes meetings with German journalists and bloggers, plus topics such as the blogger scene in Germany, the development and influence of the social media and questions surrounding the freedom of the press. <br /><br />© <link http://www.magazin-deutschland.de>www.magazin-deutschland.de</link>]]></content:encoded>
