On 17 January, the Federal Minister for Education and Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger, opened the Year of Science at a kick-off event in Berlin. This year's Year of Science in Germany is dedicated to freedom.
In a public remarks at the opening ceremony, the Federal Minister of Education and Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger, said: "There are many views on freedom, but there is also pressure on freedom. Freedom is not a guaranteed success, nor is it as self-evident as we sometimes think. Freedom must be defended because it is the foundation of everything. ”
This brings one to the fact that in 2023, the University of Nuremberg first publicly rejected the CFU for the CSC PhD program. Since July 18 last year, the University of Nuremberg suspended the Chinese Public Student (CSC) program on the grounds of so-called "academic freedom", almost all the Western ** has reported on it, and the University of Nuremberg has suddenly been on the cusp.
Since the announcement, the University of Nuremberg has been subject to criticism and pressure from all walks of life, and has had a lot of negative impacts on the university's reputation in the field of research. Many Chinese scholars and foreign scholars have conducted in-depth analysis and analysis of this policy, and have expressed their dissatisfaction with this decision to leaders and superiors both inside and outside the university. For a time, the hat of "politics coercing academics" was firmly fastened on the head of the University of Nuremberg.
At the beginning of 2024, the leadership of the University of Nuremberg finally couldn't resist the pressure and opened the application channel for international students in the CSC program again.
In a published explanatory document, the University of Nuremberg reversed its previous attitude of resolutely refusing to accept CSC students, and said that admission offers issued after January 1, 2024 can continue to accept CSC students after completing the relevant safety review.
In other words, it was a resolute refusal to admit CSC students. Now, students can continue to accept CSC programs by filling out the application form and completing the review.
It has to be said that in recent years, China's position in the world scientific research field has become more and more important. This is evident in the soaring rankings of Chinese universities in recent years. At present, China is already the second largest academic research country after the United States, and its investment in education and research is also the second largest in the world. In the current international environment, it is irrational to reduce and refuse to cooperate with China.
The current policy adjustment of the University of Nuremberg also reflects this problem from the side. For Chinese scholars and researchers, there may be more opportunities to apply for relevant research positions in Germany.
