Funding of the Rud. Otto Meyer Environmental Foundation

The Rud. Otto Meyer Environmental Foundation supports non-profit educational institutions and organizations nationwide in the research and development of innovative, resource- and environmentally-friendly technologies in the construction sector. Projects with a strong focus on energy efficiency, renewable energies, urban planning, monument preservation, and ecological management are funded. The foundation aims to promote practical solution approaches that advance the sustainable use of natural resources in architecture, infrastructure, and urban development. Research and development projects are evaluated based on their content relevance and their alignment with the foundation’s key areas of work. The duration of funded projects typically ranges between 12 and 24 months, with flexible disbursement of funds based on partial results.

Applications can be submitted informally at any time via the application form to the board. Interested institutions should include a concise project description along with an abstract, highlighting the ecological added value and technical innovation. Required documents include a completed form, a detailed project description, and a brief abstract. The foundation recommends prior consultation with a board member to clarify the suitability of the funding idea. With a view to the future viability of the construction sector, this funding opportunity offers an attractive chance to develop sustainable technologies and strengthen their dissemination through publications and practical examples.
