Welcome to Germany!
In Germany, the "Land of Ideas", we place major emphasis on education, science, research and development. This makes Germany one of the most popular countries in which to study, as well as a site for state-of-the art research and patent development. With its high quality of life, good infrastructure and central location in Europe, Germany is one of the world's most attractive bases for business. Its beautiful urban and rural landscapes, combining age-old traditions and experimental modern culture, make a trip to Germany a unique experience. Germany has something for everyone, so why not pay us a visit?
The latest issue of DE Magazin Deutschland (No. 1/2012) looks ahead to the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro from 20 to 22 June 2012 and focuses on the central themes of the international conference on sustainable development.

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.

Alongside the destruction of habitats, the economic exploitation of animals and plants is one of the greatest dangers facing the animal and plant worlds. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, in short the Washington Convention, is a legally binding international agreement dating from 1973 to protect endangered species of animals and plants. It is also known internationally as CITES Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
