Tasks

As of 1 January 2020, the Federal Government has introduced R&D tax incentives. By promoting research through tax incentives, the Federal Government intends to increase the share of R&D investments in Germany‘s gross domestic product to 3.5% by 2025 and hopes to supplement existing project funding. The objectives of this law are to be evaluated after five years at the latest in order to assess their impact on Germany‘s innovative capacity and their contribution to achieving the share of 3,5 %. The aim of this project is to develop an evaluation plan.
