German term or phrase: Leitprojekte
Die Quintessenz, dass die Nanotechnologie, aufbauend auf die Erkenntnisse von verantwortungsvollen Forschern, einen großen Entwicklungs- und Innovationsschub auslösen kann, kommt nicht in der Bevölkerung an. Daraus ergibt sich, dass Innovation nicht von selbst funktioniert, sie braucht gesamtgesellschaftliche Diskussion und Akzeptanz.In diesem Sinne hat Bundesforschungsministerin Edelgard Bulmahn auch richtig gehandelt, als sie Leitprojekte für die zukünftige Nanoforschung zur Förderung ausgeschrieben hat.

main theme


Explanation:
I do not agree with pilot project. Edelgard Bulmahn has defined a set of "main themes" in the nano tech area. The pilot projects are going to be proposed by industry. If a "pilot project" is related to a defined "main theme" it will be (partially) funded.

orientation projects


Explanation:
Die PERSPEKTIVE MÜNCHEN ist deswegen kein starrer Plan, sondern ein flexibler Orientierungsrahmen. Die darin formulierten Leitlinien definieren Richtung und Ziel der Stadtentwicklung, die Leitprojekte stellen die Instrumente und "Labors" dar, in denen neue Wege der Stadtentwicklung und des Zusammenlebens in der Stadt erprobt werden.

For this reason, the MUNICH PERSPECTIVE is more of a flexible guide than a rigid plan. Its Guidelines offer definitions for both the direction and aims of urban planning, while its orientation projects provide specific tools and a "laboratory" for research into new pathways in urban planning and communal urban living.
