Criticism of the structural reform of the MRI

The Kulmbach scientist Manfred Gareis is moving from the Max Rubner Institute to the Ludwig Maximilians University, where he will take over the new chair for food safety.

Since 1993 in Kulmbach

With his appointment to the university, Gareis returns to his former place of training and work. Gareis studied veterinary medicine at the LMU, did his doctorate and habilitation at the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Infection and Epidemic Medicine there. In 1993 he succeeded Lothar Leistner as head of the Institute for Microbiology and Toxicology at the Federal Institute for Meat Research in Kulmbach. With the structural reform of federal research in 2008, this institute was merged with its sister institute in Kiel.

According to infranken.de, Garaeis criticizes the consequences of this structural reform. Among other things, the freedom of local experts to publicly express themselves on factual issues is significantly restricted - a development that he did not like. Gareis is also quoted there: "By returning to the university, I regain my academic freedom."
