The Many

The field of higher education has seen great increases in the mobility of international students over the last decades. Due to this trend, not only has global educational programming become increasingly important, but also, the development of appropriate visa regulations and schemes to support international students has come into debate. The F-1 visa in the United States and the Aufenthaltstitel for students in Germany are two cases, which are similar in many ways but different in others. Due to Germany’s status as a member state of the European Union, directives created at Union level, also have a significant impact on Germany's legislation. To be able to understand the procedure and benefits and/or disadvantages attained by the students themselves in each scheme, it is important to analysis the many aspects of the visa schemes. It's not better or worse, it’s just different’ is a phrase which, in the case of visa regulations, holds true. Important for both schemes however, is their ability to further the ideals of globalization through allowing student academic mobility.

Railway Systems

Congestion, emissions generated by transportation, increasing fuel costs and expanding demand for mobility have revived the interest for modern rail transportation throughout the world. Simultaneously, expansion of global trade and increasing demands for technology to improve the safety and productivity of the industry are creating a new environment that requires a different way of thinking when developing railway systems. Overall, the authors believe that current changes provide a fertile ground for institutions of higher education in the United States and the European Union (EU) to increase their transatlantic cooperation in education and research. Recent studies related to railway higher education have been undertaken in Europe and the United States. The European Rail Research Network of Excellence (EURNEX) conducted a study to develop and organize educational and training activities in participating higher education institutions. In Germany, a comprehensive inventory was conducted to define the current level of rail transportation activities in higher education institutions. In the United States, American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association (AREMA) conducted a study to determine the type and extent of rail education currently offered on campuses. In addition, a benchmarking study was performed by Michigan Tech University to investigate rail education and recruitment at universities with the objective to define the quantitative and qualitative demands for rail engineers by industry employers. This paper presents a synopsis of these past studies and introduces an on-going “TUNRail” project to “tune” and intensify the railway higher education knowledge exchange and collaboration between the EU and the United States.

The Right

Both the United States of America and Belgium attach great importance to communication duties in occupational pensions. Several legal sources in both countries provide the right to be informed to participants. The legislation in both countries seeks to ensure accurate, correct, transparent and understandable communication. Despite this resemblance, there are some differences in communication. The countries can learn from one another. Based on a theoretical framework developed in and for the European Union, the communication rights and duties in the USA and Belgium are analysed. This analysis leads to a better understanding of the different legal responsibilities, transparency rules, simplification efforts and technical correctness of the types of occupational pension information analyzed.
