Timeline

1957

Johannes Hahn (born 2 December 1957) is an Austrian politician who has served as European Commissioner for Budget and Administration under Ursula von der Leyen since 1 December 2019.

1980

Hahn studied at the University of Vienna and began his political career in the youth organisation of the Austrian People's Party (JVP), where he was chairman of the Vienna group from 1980 to 1985.

In the 1980s, Hahn drafted the first European manifesto of the ÖVP's youth wing, where he was deputy leader.

He adopted a decidedly pro-European position at a time when many within the party had doubts about Austria's accession to the EU.

Novomatic is an international gambling company, founded by the billionaire Johann Graf in 1980.

There are several controversies about the company (Novomatic subsidiary G. Matica in Italy; gambling in Poland investigations by the Romanian National Anticorruption Directorate)

1987

Hahn graduated with a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Vienna in 1987.

From 1987 to 1989 Hahn worked as Secretary General of the Austrian Managers Association, and was active in the Austrian Federal Youth Council (ÖBJR) and the General Secretariat of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP).

1992

In 1992 Hahn became Secretary of the Austrian People's Party in Vienna and, in 1996, he became a member of the Vienna regional council, where he seated until 2003.

1997

In the same years (1997–2003) he served as a member of the supervisory board at Novomatic, an online gaming and casino management system firm, of which he was appointed CEO in 2003.

From 1997 onwards, Hahn was member of the executive board of Novomatic.

2003

From 2003 to 2007 Hahn was a member of the Vienna regional government (without portfolio).

In 2003, he became the CEO.

2004

Since 2004 Hahn has been Chairman of the Austrian People's Party in Vienna and, as such, was the party frontrunner in the October 2005 regional elections in which an increase in votes for the ÖVP (and a slight loss in votes for the FPÖ) made the ÖVP the second strongest party in the regional parliament, with 18 seats.

2007

Before entering the European Commission, Hahn served as the Austrian Minister for Science and Research from 2007 to 2010.

He is a member of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), part of the European People's Party (EPP).

In May 2007 media scholar Stefan Weber accused Hahn of copying numerous pages of his PhD thesis from other books without citing them correctly.

The suspected plagiarism was not confirmed by an expert committee from the University of Zurich that looked into the matter.

Other academics contested this evaluation.

The University of Vienna looked into the matter but decided not to start an examination procedure, saying that Hahn never presented "other people's intellectual property" as his own.

Johannes Hahn was sworn in as Minister of Science and Research on 11 January 2007, as part of the Austrian Federal Government under Alfred Gusenbauer, then from 2 December 2008 as part of the First Faymann government.

Amongst other things, in his work Hahn has placed a particular focus on improving public relations for people and institutions working in and around the fields of science and research.

Numerous campaigns, events and projects have promoted "Children's University" projects, the "Sparkling Science" programme, the "Visibility Measures" to raise public awareness of the work done by women scientists, the Forte Coaching Programme, the "Long Night of Research", as well as various awards, such as the Wittgenstein Prize.

Hahn's aim has been to bring more researchers into the public eye as, for example, he publicly called upon the Austrian Academy of Sciences to "come out of their ivory tower".

During Hahn's term of office, all graduates of degree programmes at Fachhochschulen were given equal status to their university graduate counterparts in the civil service and all students enrolled in Fachhochschule study programmes have been recognised as full members of the Austrian Students' Association (ÖH) since December 2007.

In co-operation with Austrian booksellers, Hahn launched an initiative in autumn 2007 to select the best scientific book of the year.

2008

In April 2008, Hahn announced the first ever budget increase (average of 13.7 per cent more per university place) in the history of Austrian Fachhochschulen.

One of Hahn's aims has been to raise public awareness of the great number of successful women in science and research in Austria by means of the so-called "Visibility Measures" which were launched in 2008.

This included media training, a film script competition on the topic of women scientists, the fForte Coaching Programme as well as the appointment of women scientists to management positions

In 2008 Hahn created the "Award of Excellence" for the best doctoral theses in Austria, as a way of recognising the work of young scientists and making the public more aware of their activities.

Each of them received 2,500 euro in prize money.

2011

Renewed allegation of plagiarism emerged in February 2011, when Austrian Green MP Peter Pilz commissioned Stefan Weber to re-assess Hahn's PhD thesis.

End of May 2011, the expert group published its findings, listing 76 cases of plagiarism, which together account for at least 17.2% of Hahn's 254-page doctoral thesis.

Hahn denied the charges and claimed they were "politically motivated, hardly surprising and not relevant."

In April 2011, the University of Vienna asked the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity to examine Hahn's doctoral thesis.

In November 2011, the university released a statement saying that in the university's opinion, Hahn's doctoral thesis wasn't plagiarism.

The university's vice-chancellor added that "today, such a dissertation would not be accepted".

The agency based its verdict on reports by three external experts.

Neither the Agency for Research Integrity nor the University of Vienna would reveal the identities of the external experts.

2014

He previously served as European Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations from November 2014 to November 2019 and before that as European Commissioner for Regional Policy from 2010 to 2014.
