Six major European research organisations – the G6 – published their common statement on the priorities they wish to see in the design of the next EU Framework Programme on Research and Innovation (FP10). The statement reflects the outcome of a high-level dialogue that the G6 organised at Ringberg Castle (Bavaria) from April 17 to 19, 2023. The G6 invited representatives from the national governments of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, from the EU Commission as well as science experts to discuss the future of European research and the strategic imperatives for the next EU Framework Programme.

Germany retains its position as one of the world’s research giants according to the first Nature Index Germany compiled by Nature Research. The journal cites strong steady science funding as well as long-term investment in basic research as the key to the country’s success. However, a lack of diversity and slow adaptation to contemporary research directions could challenge Germany’s prolific research record going forward. In 2020, women accounted for just 19.4% of senior academic staff and the proportion of female start-up founders in Germany was just 15.4%. Against this background, the article about Max Planck Vice President Asifa Akhtar makes for particularly pertinent reading (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03321-1). However, the analysis also shows how the Clusters of Excellence have helped attract international researchers to the country.

Große Vögel wie Störche sparen auf ihrem Zug in die Sommer- und Winterquartiere Kraftreserven, indem sie während des Fluges auf thermischen Strömungen dahinsegeln. Bei kleineren Zugvögeln war bisher nicht bekannt, ob sie den Wechsel zwischen Flügelschlag und Gleitflug ebenfalls nutzen und ob sie damit Energie sparen können. Nun haben Wissenschaftler am Max-Planck-Institut für Ornithologie in Radolfzell und der Ben-Gurion-Universität des Negev erstmals europäische Bienenfresser (Merops apiaster) auf ihrer Zugroute entlang des afrikanisch-eurasischen Flugkorridors mithilfe von Radiotransmittern genau beobachtet. Die Messung der Herzraten, der Fluggeschwindigkeit und der Flugart ergaben, dass auch diese kleinen Vögel zeitweise im Gleitflug dahinsegeln. Sie werden dabei nicht langsamer und sparen Kraftreserven. Sie verbrauchen nur soviel Energie als säßen sie bequem in ihrem Nest.
