Germany: 50th Anniversary of "The Mouse"

Die Sendung mit der Maus (englisch: "The Show with the Mouse"), often simply Die Maus ("The Mouse"), is a German children's television series, popular nation-wide for its educational content. The show first aired on 7 March 1971. The program was initially condemned by teachers and childcare professionals as bad for children's development, but is now hailed for its ability to convey information to children, having received over 75 awards.

Croatia: 350 Years of the University of Zagreb - FDC

In the academic year 2019/2020, the University of Zagreb celebrated 350 years since its founding in 1669. It is the oldest continuously operating university in Croatia, and one of Europe's oldest universities.

Its history began on 23 September 1669, when the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary and Croatia, Leopold I Habsburg, issued a decree granting the Jesuit Academy in the Free Royal City of Zagreb the status and privileges of a university institution. The recognition was adopted by the Parliament of the Kingdom of Croatia on 3 November 1671. Therefore, the University considers 1669 as the year of its founding and 3 November is celebrated as University Day. 

Having started with three faculties and 200 enrolled students, the university has, in the more than three centuries of its existence, grown to today's 34 constituent units and more than 70,000 students.

Germany: Research Vessel Polarstern on the Expedition PS113

The cruise leg PS113 coincided with the return voyage of Polarstern after finishing her Antarctic research season 2017/18. PS113 started on the evening of 08 May (2018), delayed by one day due to the somewhat difficult arrangements at the harbour of Punta Arenas, Chile. Tailwinds and a strong tidal current setting towards the Atlantic in the Strait of Magellan, but helped us to regain part of the lost ship time right at the beginning of the cruise. As planned, an intermediate port call at Las Palmas, Canary Islands, took place on 03 June for the exchange of personnel. According to schedule PS113 ended in Bremerhaven early on 11 June 2018.
