mst|femNet meets Nano and Optics – Nationwide Girls-Technics-Talent-Forums in MINT - mäta
Beyond the structures of the public educational system, there are manifold gender-sensitive offers in order to get girls into technical or nature science topics. However, it is characteristic of this inofficial educational sector for mathematical, information, nature and technical studies to have several projects unconnected to each other. It is therefore impossible for the synergy potential of this educational sector to unfold. The projects “mst|fem Net meets Nano and Optics - Nationwide Girls-Technics-Talent-Forums in MINT – mäta” shows the ways a pooling of existing activities is possible if all involved parties agree on a joint intention.

Internet der Dinge - Leitfaden zu technischen, organisatorischen, rechtlichen und sicherheitsrelevanten Aspekten bei der Realisierung neuer RFID-gestützter Prozesse in Wirtschaft und Verwaltung; BMWi-Publikation 581; Berlin.
Besides the bar code, RFID technology for the identification of all kinds of objects is increasingly winning acceptance. Unambiguous identification connected with the possibility of making available, at any place and anytime, additional information associated with the object, has already led today to efficient processes, new products and innovative services. If objects are additionally equipped with sensory capabilities and options for localisation, autonomous, quasi-intelligent applications are likewise possible. In the guideline prepared for the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, ways of reliable and safe use in economy and administration are pointed out.

Guideline – Evaluation in the Economy
Leitfaden - Evaluation in der Wirtschaft
The guideline "Evaluation in the Economy" from the Arbeitskreis Wirtschaft (working group on economy) within the Gesellschaft für Evaluation (DeGEval e.V.) is meant for companies, associations of companies and chambers as well as those persons who are responsible for, control, develop or carry out strategic measures of change.

Based on a mutual peer review and concrete indices, interested cluster managers can initiate active steps towards a quality-oriented cluster management and thereby improve the overall cluster performance. The concept presented here is addressed to managers and coordinators of regional networks and clusters. QECM has already met with a wide response and has been taken into consideration, for example, in the current cluster communication of the European Commission.
