The market for large-scale research equipment is highly concentrated in many areas, with a few dominant global suppliers (e.g. electron microscopy, MS/NMR spectroscopy). High patent protection and strong customer loyalty through proprietary software and method development further restrict competition.

What they argued
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop an action plan for women in research, innovation and startups. The DFG strongly supports the overall objectives of the initiative and considers it an important and timely contribution to strengthening equality, diversity and inclusion across the European Research Area.
The German Research Foundation (DFG), as the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany, very much welcomes the European Commissions initiative to address the remaining challenges for the full implementation of the European Research Area.
The DFG welcomes the possibility to provide comments on the European Commission's White Paper about its future approach to research with dual-use potential. The DFG funds primarily basic research. When it comes to research with dual-use potential, the DFG therefore focuses on making applicants aware of the risks of research with dual-use potential and ensures that these risks are dealt with adequately.
