Lesson 1 has been prepared by the EU Affairs Office of the City of Nuremberg.

The City of Nuremberg has 520.000 inhabitants. The spirit of international cooperation is widespread in the city through a wide variety of actions. The citizens commit wholeheartedly to a wide range of partnership associations, scientists cooperate with partner research institutions and experts in diverse fields share their knowledge with friends and partners abroad.

The Office for EU affairs within the city administration is the central contact point for EU-issues. It supports the consideration and use of EU-impacts to the local level and citizens. In particular the tasks comprise the communication and information about EU developments, EU-initiatives, funding opportunities and legislative procedures for municipal departments and citizens. It organizes and supports the dialogue and discussions about EU policies.

A Europe Direct Information Centre is also located within the Office for EU-affairs and gives EU-Information to the public.
