Compared with other famous universities with a long history in Germany, Frankfurt University, which was founded in 19 14, prospered rapidly in just a hundred years, with 19 people winning the Nobel Prize (the fifth in Germany). As a member of "U 15", the University of Frankfurt ranks very high.
The University of Frankfurt has strong scientific research strength and is the most famous university in Germany that won the Leibniz Prize. The number of elite clusters in Frankfurt University is the second in Germany, and Max has three cooperative units in Frankfurt University.

As the leader of local scientific research institutions, universities regard it as their responsibility and challenge to actively participate in the development and construction of the Rhine-Main region. With its scientific and technological strength and practical experience, this university has become the center to solve social, political, economic and cultural problems. The 55th Frankfurt International Book Fair arrived as scheduled. It attracted more than 6,600 publishers from 104 countries and regions, displayed 330,000 kinds of new books, artworks and multimedia products from all over the world, and was visited by 300,000 people in a week, making it a veritable "world's largest book city". During the exhibition, in the windows of large chain department stores in Frankfurt, all the huge advertisements of the book fair were put on.
As early as the16th century, Frankfurt was the gathering place for publishers of Latin hardcover books, and publishers from Florence to Amsterdam gathered here. After World War II, in order to revitalize German culture, the first Frankfurt Book Fair 1949 was held in Paul Church. For half a century, this book fair is not only a festival in Frankfurt, but also a grand gathering of the global publishing industry.
Nowadays, various book fairs emerge one after another. After more than half a century, Frankfurt International Book Fair is still famous, which is not unrelated to its continuous innovation. Of course, the publishing house brought its most proud works, and the organizers also made great efforts in the exhibition form. In 20 13, the Expo adopted a series of new measures to attract readers, including adding a film festival with the theme of "literature and film" and drawing the world's longest cartoon on the spot. From professional forums to various seminars, recitals, awards ceremonies, art exhibitions and photo exhibitions, to famous writers' signatures and thousands of people's discos, there were more than 3,000 events.
"Now, most of our copyright transactions can be done by email, and the book fair should be supplemented with new content." Willie Friedman from Belgium said that this was his thirtieth visit to Frankfurt. There are many old faces like him in China International Import Expo(CIIE). The so-called conformity is difficult to adjust. Faced with the increasingly critical eyes of old customers, the organizers really dare not rest on their laurels and stop. Affected by politics and economy, the scale of Frankfurt International Book Fair has been shrinking in recent years, and the volume of copyright transactions has been greatly reduced. All this was reversed on 20 13, and the endless stream of people in the exhibition hall was enough to make the organizers breathe a sigh of relief.
China officially participated in the Frankfurt International Book Fair 1957. Although it is not as lively as the British and American Pavilion, the China booth in Hall 6 is also unique, and the red Chinese knot is the best sign. The Commercial Press, People's Literature Publishing House, China Children's Publishing House ... some well-known domestic publishing houses have appeared in succession, expecting to make a difference in this grand gathering of publishing circles. Hans, the project manager of the International Department of Frankfurt International Book Fair, said that he had participated in the Beijing International Book Fair five times since 1996, during which he was surprised by the great changes. He also frankly pointed out that compared with some international book fairs with a long history, there is a certain gap in Beijing International Book Fair. At the Frankfurt International Book Fair, the editors of Chinese publishing houses who came not far from Wan Li were a little at a loss. From palm-sized mini-books to oversized masterpieces, from grotesque cartoon books to beautifully designed stationery ... If the dazzling array of books shocked the book editors in China, the numbers behind the books were even more thought-provoking. According to the information of the German Booksellers Association, the annual book sales in Germany reach 9.5 billion euros, and one of every 10 books in the world is published in Germany. In addition to domestic distribution, German books are also exported for cultural purposes. In 20 12 years, German book exports reached 10 billion euros, and more than 5,000 German books were bought by other countries, among which Chinese accounted for the highest proportion, reaching nearly 400. From 1992 to 1 1 in 2002, there were more than 48,500 kinds of imported books and 6,500 kinds of exported books, with the import-export ratio of about 7∶ 1. In front of the China booth of Frankfurt International Book Fair, Susan from Germany bought an English version of Romance of Gods. She and her husband went to China a few years ago and began to like the traditional culture of China. According to reports, China books on catering, medical care and traditional culture are favored by foreign readers, while China books of other categories are hard to find.
