Departmental research: Research for public services with special consideration in the area of State´s and European Union´s health responsibilities.

该研究项目旨在分析德国联邦共和国、欧洲联盟及其合作管理机构内的部门研究。因此，特别提到了国家和欧洲联盟的卫生责任领域。项目应从法律的角度确定部门研究的合法性和必要性。与此同时，它从国家的角度和超国家的背景下，增加了对科学知识与现代国家关系的讨论。 在全国范围内，各部门的研究由联邦部或各州部的机构（或受委托的机构）进行，以履行国家职责。德国的部门研究概念将在考虑其历史根源的基础上得到法律界定，并将在欧洲联盟范围内得到进一步发展。部门研究，或在跨国背景下：行政研究，是被视为自由研究和部长职责之间的紧张关系。因此，部门研究持有两个不同的，有时相互冲突的系统，从而提出了以前没有认识到的问题，将系统地检查和回答在这个项目的宪法模糊的立场。 该项目的出发点是，《德国宪法》第5条第三款所保障的科学自由不适用于部门研究，因为它是科学自由的一项主观权利，而是一项客观原则。因此，人们认为自由研究对民主宪政国家至关重要。这导致人们认识到，国家进行的制度化研究必须以具体的法律的条件框架为基础。在国家对健康的责任方面，应审查国家应如何和在何种限度内以自己的研究机构为基础执行其任务。为了防止部门研究被滥用于使政治权力合法化，什么样的制度安排是必要的？为此，将分析联邦部门研究机构的任务和组织，以及它们是否符合宪法要求的问题。在欧洲联盟一级，还将在卫生责任领域内分析行政研究。它将显示如何执行任务的知识是在欧盟的多层次系统内产生的。此外，还将分析适用哪些法律的要求以及这些要求是否得到遵守。这些调查结果还将有助于进一步了解欧洲行政法以及各国和欧洲联盟的合作行政。

The research project aims to analyse departmental research within the Federal Republic of Germany, the European Union and within their cooperative administrations. Thereby special reference is made to the area of State´s and the European Union´s health responsibilities. The project shall identify, from a legal perspective, the legitimate and necessary extent of departmental research. At the same time, it adds to the discussion of the relationship of scientific knowledge to modern statehood, both from a national perspective and within a supranational context. Within the national context, departmental research is carried out by institutions of the federal ministry or the state ministries of the Länder (or otherwise commissioned) for the fulfillment of State duties. The German concept of departmental research will be legally defined by taking into consideration its historical roots, and will be further developed within the scope of the European Union. Departmental research, or in the transnational context: executive research, is to be seen as a tension between free research and ministerial duties. Therefore, departmental research holds a constitutionally ambiguous position with two different and sometimes conflicting systems, and thus raises previously unrecognized problems that will be systematically examined and answered in this project. The project starts from the thesis that the freedom of science as guaranteed by Art. 5 III of the German Constitution is not applicable to departmental research in its use as a subjective right of the freedom of science, but rather an objective principle. As such, it is supposed that free research is vital for a democratic constitutional state. This leads to the insight that institutionalized research by the State needs to be based on a specific legal framework of conditions. In the area of the State´s responsibility for health, it shall be examined as to how and within what limits the State should carry out its tasks on the basis of own research institutions. Which institutional arrangements are necessary in order to prevent departmental research from being misused to legitimize political power? To this end, the federal departmental research institutions will be analysed with respect to their tasks and organization, and to the question of whether they are in accordance with constitutional requirements. At the level of the European Union, the executive research will also be analysed within the area of health responsibility. It will be shown how knowledge for executive tasks is generated within the multilevel system of the European Union. Further, there will be an analysis of which legal requirements apply and whether they are being complied with. These findings shall also contribute to the further understanding of European administrative law and the cooperative administration of States and the European Union.
