Zur Geschichte und Zukunft des Mittelbaus in der Wissenschafts-, Medizin und Technikgeschichte“<o:p></o:p></span></b></h1><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'>In den letzten 40 Jahren ist die deutsche Universität auf die Glaubenssätze des New Public Management hin ausgerichtet worden, zu deren obersten Zielen Innovation und Wettbewerb gehören. Innovation, so die Rhetorik, sei das Ergebnis von Flexibilität, in praxi der befristeten Beschäftigung der Wissenschaftler. Das Oxymoron der Dauerqualifizierungsphase ist längst nicht mehr Rhetorik, sondern prägt die Realität der Forschungswilligen.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'>Die Folgen sind offenkundig: Ein ausuferndes, sich selbst reproduzierende Antragswesen, das Forschungsergebnisse simuliert statt produziert und immense Ressourcen vereinnahmt; ein durchflexibilisierter Mittelbau, der Anträge schreibt, statt zu forschen und zu lehren; ein System, das Misstrauen sät, wenn nicht toxische Strukturen befördert; motivierte Forscher*innen, die von Existenzängsten geplagt ihrem Beruf schließlich den Rücken zukehren, und so der Wissenschaft verloren gehen.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'>Allein, der Wille scheint groß, auf dieses Potential verzichten zu wollen, zu können. Während sich etwa Dieter Lenzen als Hanno jüngst in der F.A.Z für die Mechanismen „psychosozialer Selektion“ (FAZ Die Vergesellschaftung der Promotion, 13.09.2023) vergangener Zeiten dankbar zeigt und die Sonne der Selektion erstrahlen lässt, kommt dem ein oder anderen in der Gegenwart Beheimateten wohl eher das Bild der Titanic in den Sinn, wo die Anzahl der Rettungsboote schlicht nicht für alle Passagiere ausreicht.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'>Die Redaktion von NTM will sich dieser Realität stellen und ruft zur Einsendung von Beiträgen zu einem „Forum“ auf, das sich mit dieser Problematik insbesondere im Feld der Wissenschafts-, Medizin- und Technikgeschichte auseinandersetzt. Geplant ist, das Forum zur Jahrestagung 2024 „Wissenschaft und Aktivismus“ in Heft 3/2024 zu publizieren. Das Forum besteht aus mehreren kleineren Beiträgen jeweils mit dem Umfang von 10.000–15.000 Zeichen. Wir sind der Meinung, dass sich die aktuelle Diskussion in verschärfter Weise für unsere Fächer stellt: Kontroversere Diskussionsbeiträge, Erfahrungsberichte und Interviews mit wissenschaftlicher und persönlicher, politischer oder historischer Perspektivierung sind herzlich willkommen.

Innovation, so the thinking goes, is the result of flexibility, and in practice this means that temporary employment in academia has become a fact of life. The oxymoron of a “permanent qualification phase” (<i>Dauerqualifizierungsphase</i>) has long since ceased to be rhetorical and has come to characterise the reality for those willing to do research.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span lang=EN-GB>The consequences are obvious: A sprawling, self-replicating system of applications that simulates research results instead of producing them and devours immense resources; a thoroughly flexibilized mid-level staff that writes applications instead of researching and teaching; a system that sows mistrust, when not outright promoting toxic structures; motivated researchers who, plagued by existential fears, finally turn their backs on their profession and are thus lost to science.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span lang=EN-GB>The intent to continue without this lost potential seems great. While Dieter Lenzen, for example, as “Hanno”, recently painted a rosy picture of a bygone era and expressed his gratitude for the mechanisms of "psychosocial selection" (FAZ “Die Vergesellschaftung der Promotion,” 13.09.2023), for other readers with a foot in the present, current conditions calls to mind the image of the Titanic, where the number of lifeboats is simply not enough for all the passengers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span lang=EN-GB>The editors of NTM want to confront this reality and are calling for contributions to a forum that deals with this problem, especially within the fields of the history of science, medicine and technology.

The forum will consist of several shorter contributions each with a length of 10,000-15,000 characters.
