Minister of Research urged to accelerate pace of research by the Greens
In a recent development, Ayse Asar, a Green politician, has voiced her criticism towards Research Minister Dorothee Baer, highlighting the lack of a clear plan for future technologies and the limited number of legislative projects for the research ministry during this legislative period.
Asar's concerns stem from the coalition agreement, which provides a limited scope for the research ministry's legislative initiatives. The minister, Dorothee Baer of the CSU, has been at the helm of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space since May, a role that also includes the responsibility for space travel, following a change of government.
Despite Baer's emphasis on sending an important signal from Germany regarding global increasing restrictions on research, no detailed specific legislative initiatives or projects she has implemented in her first 100 days are directly mentioned in the search results. The source of this information is ntv.de, mpa/AFP.
The research ministry's main focus, it seems, is on numerous important strategy processes. However, Asar's criticism is based on the answers to a minor request from the Greens for Baer's 100-day balance, which were made available to the "Rheinische Post".
Asar expects swift action from Minister Baer, implying a need for accelerated implementation of projects. She also suggests that Minister Baer should introduce reliefs for students.
It's worth noting that other ministers, such as Environment Minister Carsten Schneider, are focusing on climate-neutral policies and accelerating the hydrogen economy expansion, reflecting broader government priorities in areas potentially overlapping with research policy. However, this does not detail direct Green Party positions on Baer’s remit or initiatives.
The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, under Baer's leadership, is responsible for research, technology, and space travel. The distribution of responsibilities between the research and economic ministries, according to Baer's 100-day balance, is "not yet fully completed".
Further information might be found in dedicated policy reports or party statements not covered by the search results.
