December 2022 – Newsletter "Research in Germany"

Dear reader,

The year is ending and we all reflect on our 2022. But what does 2023 have in store for us? In this issue, we will show you the results of the THE World University Rankings 2023 and how German universities did in an international comparison. If your new year's resolution is to learn a new language, you might want to check out the free German courses by Deutsche Welle. A village in Germany called Feldheim sets a green energy example for the future. And of course, we will count down the days to the holidays with you with our Research in Germany advent calendar! Happy reading!
