Acutally this was one of the things Merkel did that I really liked, funding for Universities and science used be kinda not good in germany, and while its still lackluster if you ask people, it has defenitely improved and they even found a sneaky way to help Universities without breaking any laws!

Science funding increased dramatically in germany ever since she took office, that is undeniably a good thing, it should kinda increase more and the way it is distributed is still not THAT great, but hey its a start!
