In Bayer's school laboratory for molecular biology in Leverkusen, young people analyze their own genome with the aid of gel electrophoresis.

A further main goal is the expansion of networks, particularly on an international and interdisciplinary level.

By focusing on support for schools, Bayer aims to promote enjoyment of and interest in the sciences among children and young people, and to help to sustainably improve scientific education opportunities in schools located in the communities in which Bayer operates.
