The criticism is aimed at potential political interference in the autonomy of science, citing the American experience and one colleague's view that the wrong topics are being funded.

Furthermore, the opposition of various ministries (such as the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, MKM) to the Ministry of Education and Research's (HTM) competence in establishing unified quality and ethical criteria for research projects is highlighted.
