Resumen:
Since the beginning of using living or formerly living organisms as information systems on the quality of the general (health) status of our environment by bioindication and biomonitoring methods (many decades ago!), different roads to reaching this common scientific goal had been developed by a lot of different international research groups. Especially the global cooperation in between various scientific teams throughout the world has produced common ideas, scientific definitions, and highly innovative results of this extremely attractive working field. The transdisciplinary approach of different and multifaced scientific areas - starting from biology, (analytical) chemistry, via health physics, up to social and economic issues - have broken (in parts exsisting) mental barriers of individual scientists, so that today the “production” of straightforward (common) results related to the influence of material and immaterial (environmental) factors to the wellbeing of organisms and human life is in forfront of international thinking. For further sustainable development of our common scientific “hobby” of bioindication and biomonitoring, especially highest personal energy have to be given by us as teachers (in Universities and other institutions) to our students and to convince (strategically) decision makers as politicians to invest (financially) into the development of education and research of this innovative technique. Young people have to being intensively convinced on the “sense” of our scientific doing, f.e. by extendet forms of education. One example by multilingual education of students worldwide is given here, which we have intensively started about 3 years ago. International colleagues have translated a general paper on bioindication and biomonitoring, which was already published in the English (and German) language. The languages include for example Arabic, Chinese, French, Latvia, Lithuanian, Persian, Polish, Russia, Spanish (for sure, much more languages are in preparation). In addition to the translation the colleagues of the participating countries have to include a special case study of bioindication investigated in their own country into the translated paper. The translated papers have been published in national journals. So, the students can find innovative scientific ideas in their own mother language with a strong international relevance: They are mentally convinced by this fantastic and profitable “biological green” technique, because we meet by our teaching methods the emotional and rational intelligence of our young people and motivate them to move into our international working field. In addition to this form of the international scientific exchange we find an excellent side effect of intercultural exchange.
