The Federal Government‘s research-policy and innovation-policy aims, in conjunction with Europe‘s intention to become the world‘s leading knowledge-based economy, call for intensified use of the opportunities inherent in increasing internationalisation.
The Federal Government has addressed these challenges via its Strategy for the Internationalization of Science and Research. The Internationalization Strategy is a core element of German research policy, along with the High-Tech Strategy, the Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation and the Initiative for Excellence.
An abstract of the report and the chapters dealing with international co-operation in research and innovation have been translated into English and can be downloaded as a PDF files.
