Regional Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg

Sustainable management

Baden-Wuerttemberg is a centre for innovation, technology and business. The regional centre contributes to sustainable development in its partner countries through its range of capacity building programmes, helping fulfil the goals of Agenda 21 from the Johannesburg Rio process.

Capacity building

Our focal points in Baden-Wuerttemberg are sustainable management and other core issues addressed by InWEnt worldwide and supported by the Regional Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg through training and dialogue programmes. The centre focuses primarily on reform countries in Central and Eastern Europe and German development policy partner countries.

We have worked closely with the state government of Baden-Wuerttemberg for many years, which has generously provided us with premises in Mannheim. Our International Education Centre shares the same building, where Inwent is also hosting a "Centre for Sustainable Management".

In 1997 a joint project between the Stuttgart Ministry of Economics, Research and Art and the Universiti Teknologi MARA in Malaysia was founded. The Regional Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg trains around 50 young students from Malaysia at state universities for this project each year.

We also offer a range of language courses for different target groups that are aimed primarily at university applicants, scientists and university instructors from developing countries. Scholarships for applicants are financed by the Ministry for Culture, Youth and Sports and the Ministry for Science, Research and Art.

Education for development

The Regional Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg works with a number of organisations from civil society and others working toward one world to communicate the tasks and goals of development policy to the public. We offer intercultural meetings and advising services for institutions from Baden-Wuerttemberg on questions of development policy education. The "Ch@t der Welten" in Baden-Wuerttemberg, an internet-supported learning and communication platform, primarily explores environmental problems. Pupils there discuss issues such as biodiversity, the climate and energy, renewable raw materials and indigenous peoples.

Bridge to the business sector

The Regional Centre Baden-Wuerttemberg is also charged with linking people from the business community and civil society in the region. We support the work of the Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft’s Regional Business Group as part of this. We also advise young professionals from Germany interested in professional training abroad.
