The research and working conditions of international academics and researchers at German universities
The article analyses the research and working conditions of international academics and researchers at German universities on the basis of data from the current DZHW Scientists Survey. International academics and researchers in Germany particularly appreciate the academic freedom and autonomy of the German research system, but also its social relevance and innovative capacity. Over 70% of respondents highlighted these aspects. Nevertheless, despite the international relevance they give research in their field (62%), they attest to the extreme competition between colleagues (62%), the excessive requirement to obtain third-party funding (56%) and the enormous pressure to publish (44%). The vast majority (70%) have not experienced any discrimination in Germany during the last 24 months. Cases of discrimination were mainly on account of ethnic origin and sex. On the whole, they are satisfied with the different aspects of their professional activity. The relationship with colleagues and the research work itself were rated positively. International academics and researchers in positions below the level of professor are more likely than their German counterparts to aim for a long-term career in academia.
