German Research Minister Faces Plagiarism Allegations - ScienceInsider
"The dissertation was written 32 years ago, and I will be happy to give my account to those who are looking into the work; but it is difficult to deal with anonymous allegations," Schavan said at a press conference this morning. A ministry spokesperson told the German press agency dpa that the University of Düsseldorf will look into the allegations at Schavan's request.
Schavan had hoped reporters would focus on the planned topic of today's press conference: Her ministry's proposal for a new law that will give German science organizations more freedom over their budgets, with the ability to attract star scientists with higher pay, streamlined processes for setting up cooperative ventures with businesses, and more control over construction projects. The reform proposals were hailed as "an important signal for strengthening science and research," in a joint statement (German) from a coalition of nine science organizations, including the Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association, the DFG funding agency, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The law "will have a positive and lasting impact in all areas" of German science, the statement says.
