Funding of the Silesia-Clemens Hanke Foundation

The Silesia-Clemens Hanke Foundation supports innovative educational and research initiatives nationwide, with a particular focus on school support associations, university professorships, and experimental student research projects in the fields of food chemistry and process engineering. Among the projects previously supported are the Chair of Food Chemistry and Molecular Sensor Technology at the Technical University of Munich, as well as scholarship recipients from Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and support associations of various primary and secondary schools. The foundation’s goal is to provide sustainable impetus for science and teaching and to strengthen both emerging and established research endeavors equally. As an exclusive grant provider, the Silesia-Clemens Hanke Foundation directs its funding solely to non-profit organizations, public institutions, and educational providers that can demonstrate a clearly defined project relevance in the specified subject areas.

Interested institutions and research facilities may submit applications on an ongoing basis, following prior contact with the foundation. A prerequisite for funding approval is formal integration into an educational or research context as well as a detailed project outline demonstrating the benefits and scientific added value. The foundation supports not only infrastructure and material costs but also scholarships and school STEM initiatives. The continuously open application deadline ensures that innovative ideas can be submitted and realized without time constraints. The funding from the Silesia-Clemens Hanke Foundation is particularly aimed at school and university networks, research laboratories, and dedicated support associations committed to the forward-looking development of learning and research competencies.
