We are very pleased that Prof. em. Dr. Werner PASCHA, Vice President of the JDZB, is going to receive the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon by the Japanese  government for his contribution to the promotion of academic exchange and mutual understanding between Japan and Germany. After our former Secretary General Dr. Friederike BOSSE has been awarded an Order last year, our former colleague, Dr. Wolfgang BRENN, for many years the Head of the Project Management Department of the JDZB, has also been awarded with an Order. We are very grateful for the honoring of these personalities who are connected to the JDZB in various ways, and congratulate very warmly!
