This seems like a Fraunhofer internal project so it seems to be from the base budget they can freely invest into research (still tax payers money and with a political edge to it)
The general criticism to the European subsidiaries applies though to all the 'competity' research funding that not necessarily leads to go to market approaches . But this IMHO is a bad example.
- hef19898 3y agoIt puzzles me how people can ignore stuff like DARPA while simultaniously argue against stuff like publicly funded Fraunhofer research.
- cycomanic 3y agoYes, the US military industry complex along with DARPA funding etc., seems like a huge subsidy exercise. There are also these weird rules in these grants as well, i.e. you have to fly US airlines (the irony obviously is that the US often strongarms smaller economies into abolishing these rules as being "anti-competitive/free-trade".
