Friedrich Schiller University Jena

The Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, founded in 1558, with its 21,000 students distributed over ten different faculties leaves its mark on the image of the town. Special programmes support students from abroad. When it comes to teaching, Jena University combines tradition and innovation: Apart from medicine, physics, psychology, business studies and economics, or sports, bio and social sciences - all of which are highly ranked - the so-called "smaller subjects", like for instance caucasiology, Romanian or Indo-Germanic studies, are sustained. The wide range of opportunities for studying at Thuringia's only classical university shapes its appearance as well as its attitude: to act without limits - interdisciplinarily and internationally.

UNESCO - International Hydrological Programme  

Germany has set up an interdisciplinary national committee, contributing both to UNESCO’s IHP and to the Hydrology and Water Resources Programme (HWRP) of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). The IHP/HWRP National Committee acts as a national forum for the hydrological sciences in Germany, interlinking the fresh water programmes of the UN with national research projects and operational hydrological services. The IHP/HWRP National Committee is a forum for the exchange of information, creating synergies at the interface between the national and international scales. The IHP/HWRP National Committee is supported in its work by a permanent secretariat located at the Federal Institute of Hydrology in Koblenz.
