* acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX Science and reunification

Decisions in the years 1989/1990:Establishment of an integrated science landscape

Changes implemented from 1990 to 1992: The discontinuation of the science system of the GDR and the development of a new science system in eastern Germany utilizing the West German system as a role model

Science and reunificationThe results (not including Berlin):

Establishment or re-establishment of numerous universities and research institutes (56 universities of applied science, private etc./ 5 universities were discontinued; 3 new universities were founded (Cottbus, Frankfurt/Oder, Erfurt) Performance level remains differentiated (2.3% of excellence initiation funding)R&D investments: western Germany67% industry sector 33% public sector eastern Germany80% public sectorPersonal: 50% reduction at universitiesDiscontinuation of academy research system new approach: working academies * acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX

* acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX Challenge:

How Germany can become a leading provider of electromobility

* acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX Urban mobility improving air quality (incl. noise) in urban areasMultimodal mobility close networking with the well-developed public transport systemIndependent mobility reduced dependency on fossil fuelsRegenerative mobility in combination with sustainable power generation, particularly regenerative energiesBuffering mobility with controlled charging times, possibly as an energy buffer in the long-term (bidirectional vehicle-to-grid)

Opportunities for electromobilityFive arguments specifically relevant for GermanyBildquellen: EON, MVG, RWE

* acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX Electromobility should be viewed as an interdisciplinary national effort no company, sector or scientific discipline can master this on its ownGermany must become a leading supplier of electromobility not just the lead market Promotion instruments should be concentrated Pilot regions should be strengthened as a window for export Electromobility must be embedded in the overall context the future mobility should not be reduced to electromobilityPromotion of systemic education at all levels Effect: National e-mobility Summit, May 3 - coordinated by acatech

An overview of acatech recommendations:

* acatech | Knowledge Economy Forum IX New challenge for acatech!

Define, organise and conduct National Innovation Dialog for the German Government on the request of the Chancellor Frau Dr. Merkel
