Professional Further Education (Joachim Christian Römer Foundation)

The Joachim Christian Römer Foundation offers ongoing grant funding for professional training and further education in engineering and related technical professions in Bavaria. The funding particularly supports participants in technician and master schools in the eastern Bavarian region. With a clear focus on equal opportunities, women in technical professions are given special consideration. The foundation’s goal is to support engineers and skilled workers by covering course and training fees, thereby sustainably strengthening the next generation for the technical sector. The funding is available to private individuals undertaking relevant further education at a recognized educational institution. Applications can be submitted at any time, ensuring flexible planning and short response times.

To apply, a complete email application as a PDF (max. 10 MB) is required, demonstrating participation in the respective technician or master school in the eastern Bavarian region. The foundation places great importance on comprehensive documents that clearly outline the purpose of the funding. A selection committee then reviews the applications and decides based on the criteria of professional relevance, regional affiliation, and contribution to the promotion of women. The Joachim Christian Römer Foundation thus places an emphasis on practice-oriented qualification and makes an important contribution to strengthening technical competencies in Bavaria.
