Advisory council “sees untapped opportunities for more publications in high-ranking journals” at German agency
The German Environment Agency (UBA) is working well but could do even better, according to an evaluation by the Wissenschaftsrat, a science and humanities council that advises the government.
The UBA has developed in an “extremely positive” direction since its last evaluation in 2015, the council said. It enjoys an excellent reputation for its research achievements, both nationally and internationally, has “outstanding” research infrastructure and attracts a large amount of third-party funding.
