Bund: Verwunderung bei der Opposition: Regierung hält Pläne für Forschungssicherheit geheim
Die Regierung will der Opposition ihre Pläne für mehr Forschungssicherheit nicht nennen. Im Streit darum offenbart sie: In Zeiten hybrider Kriege könnte sie härter durchgreifen als geplant.
Opposition surprised by government's secrecy over research security plans. Green Party member Ayse Asar received a response from the federal government regarding a 22-question inquiry about the planned Research Security Platform aimed at better protecting researchers and knowledge. The information was classified as secret with the "VS - Only for use" level of confidentiality, necessary for national security interests.
Asar is not allowed to discuss, quote, or disseminate the answers. The platform is expected to launch "in the fall", but the government's secrecy raises questions, especially after recent incidents involving Chinese spies at German universities and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security. The government might revise its security plans to better protect scientists and research institutions from foreign powers, but the secret responses fail to explain the risks of revealing sensitive information.
