School Support

Better conditions for a school education

To improve educational opportunities at the schools in the communities surrounding our sites, the Bayer Science & Education Foundation awards a total of up to EUR 500,000 in project-related funding. After all, the education of our young people is one of the major social tasks of our time.

Bayer school laboratories in Wuppertal and Leverkusen, where schoolchildren can learn the fascinating side of science, could serve as a model for schools.

Bayer school laboratories in Wuppertal and Leverkusen, where schoolchildren can learn the fascinating side of science, could serve as a model for schools.

Vocational training and the encouragement of young talent have for many years been an important part of our corporate philosophy and are financially supported by the Bayer Science & Education Foundation, especially at our German Sites.

“The demands of today’s knowledge-based society are very extensive and varied. We are responding to this situation by supporting both young talents and top specialists in those areas of science that are related to our core businesses of health care, nutrition and high-tech materials.” says Dr. Wolfgang Plischke, Bayer Management Board member with responsibility for Innovation, Technology and the Environment and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Foundation.

With this funding, the foundation aims to assist in the implementation of important school projects with a sustainable effect, particularly in the field of natural science. Such projects could include the establishment of laboratories, the equipping of teaching rooms, the introduction of innovative instruction methods or the realization of initiatives such as youth research competitions to supplement regular curricula.

The multifaceted project-related fundings are open to all kind of school types.
