I still can't believe what's happening in #Germany's #battery research sector. This puts us even further behind the competition and will potentially have a strong impact on related industries in the long term, such as the #automotiveindustry. Unless, of course, the industry moves elsewhere (which we are already seeing). Good for the industry, but not good for the people in Germany. Most of the young scientists who are driving innovation in this area are working on 50-60% of the standard income anyway. But they are the ones who are pushing innovation the most. I am not sure how we are going to keep up with the rest of the world in this fundamental change in the energy sector.
From 2024 on, funding for #battery #research will be cut to a fraction of the previous years. A decision with far-reaching consequences for Germany as a location for research, science and business, says Martin Winter, founding director of MEET Battery Research Center at the Universität Münster and of Helmholtz Institute Münster of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
