“Environmentally friendly and socially acceptable transformation of the energy system”
Federal Ministry of Education and Research
33 research projects presented their findings and proposals on how to transform the energy system in Germany in an environmentally friendly and socially acceptable way in Berlin yesterday. The projects, funded by the education and research ministry, focus mainly on the acceptance and participation of citizens as well as on governance of transformational processes. Support for the country’s energy transition (Energiewende) by the population was especially important, as “substantial additional financial burdens for citizens” continued to arise and “no end was in sight”, Wilfried Kraus, deputy director general at the education and research ministry, said at the presentation.
