The brain drain abroad will increase with the reform of #WissZeitVG and #UgNovelle, #hannagehtinsausland. Germany and Austria will lose their attractiveness as science and business locations. But the brain drain also favours already privileged groups without visa restrictions or care obligations (#IchBinReyhan). The waste of taxpayers' money associated with brain drain and drop out will therefore continue to increase. (14)

We are both very priviledged. We both left the German system. @dorotheegoetze quite recently went to Sweden where she has a permanent position as assistant professor in history.
@LenaOetzel went to Austria. Here she was lucky enough to get one of the tenure-positions before the reform of the #UgNovelle. Under the current §109 this would not have been possible. (13)

And even these few who try to survive the system, won’t be able to work properly. Everything has to go quickly. But all research needs time. Research needs cooperations, but such a system only nourished competition.

The #WissZeitVG and #UgNovelle reform will change research in Germany and Austria profoundly. It will affect personal lifes as well as the subjects and the way research is conducted. It will favour white male researchers with a priviledged background, because everyone else just can’t afford to do it. This will limit the questions asked. (11)

The situation in Austria is very similar. Here it’s called §109 of the #UgNovelle. In it’s current version that worsened the situation significantly, it was introduced last year. Here we have 4 years before and after the PhD. #IchBinHannaAT #FristIstFrust #109MussWeg (4)
