Key Questions
What makes a society innovative?
What does Fraunhofer Academy contribute?

A look at Lisbon Strategy
Ambitious Goal in 2000:
»Make Europe, by 2010, the most competitive and the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world«
A look at Lisbon
4
Updated goals of Lisbon Strategy (2005)
Investments in research, education and Innovation should reach 3% gross domestic product (GDP)
Boost innovation for environmental protection Liberalized markets for services in Europe Reduced bureaucracy for companies Transition to flexible labor markets
Still a long way to go!

Germany clearly below 3% GDP, and will not be reached by 2010

Weaknesses
15
Staying behind in education
1423 people out of 100.000 have a high level technical degree in Germany
1649 is the OECD average
Children don't like how Science is thought at school.Especially girls are not motivated to continue in this area
In 2008 German Industry could have employed additional 97.000 engineers
16
Germany does not spent enough moneyon education
12.000$ spent on education in USA and Switzerland 7.800$ spent in Germany
17
Weak in Continuing Education
German companies do not invest enough in continuing education
18
Key aspects for improvements
Science must be inspiring for boys and girls already in school
Academic studies must become modular and stay in step with industrial practice
Continuing education must teach current research knowhow directly and quickly
19
Fraunhofer Scholarship
Fraunhofer-JuniorAkademie Bayern
Fraunhofer-Talent-School
Fraunhofer-research fellowships
Excite young children for science!
