Science for the future

Sustainability, environmental issues and, above all, the responsible use of water resources are our key funding priorities (in addition to engineering sciences, technology and digitality) in the area of science and research.

Empowering young people is particularly important to us, for instance by sponsoring scholarships and providing grants for international field trips, summer schools and scientific conferences, or by awarding prizes for outstanding academic achievements.

In addition, we provide financial support for scientific studies and symposiums on sustainability issues that will shape the future: from climate protection and issues of water and other natural resources up to questions relating to urbanisation and urban society.
