Funding of the Jens-Peter and Betsy Schlüter Foundation for Shipping and Environmental Protection

The Jens-Peter and Betsy Schlüter Foundation for Shipping and Environmental Protection supports scientific and research-related projects nationwide that develop innovative approaches to increasing the environmental compatibility of inland and maritime shipping. The focus is on interdisciplinary initiatives that integrate technical, legal, or scientific issues. Funding is provided to individuals, students, researchers, as well as legal entities and tax-privileged organizations that aim to make a tangible contribution to climate protection and resource efficiency in shipping through their projects. The foundation grants targeted subsidies for personnel and material costs, equipment and laboratory facilities, as well as travel expenses.

Submissions are possible at any time and are subject to clearly defined criteria: proof of the scientific project, the professional suitability of the applicants, and a non-profit or tax-privileged status are prerequisites for funding. The evaluation criteria include the degree of innovation, scientific quality, and the expected benefit for environmental and climate protection in shipping. Applications must include a detailed project description, a curriculum vitae, a financing plan, and proof of tax-privileged status. The foundation thus creates a reliable framework to continuously support forward-looking research projects and promote their sustainable implementation.
