Description
The Andrea von Braun Foundation supports projects nationwide that rely on intensive interdisciplinary collaboration between a wide range of disciplines. Its grant program particularly promotes the research, preservation, and care of ecological border areas, taking into account scientific as well as cultural, economic, and social aspects. The aim of the funding is to overcome traditional boundaries and implement innovative projects in areas such as peatlands, mangrove forests, or brackish water zones, where various biotopes converge. The foundation focuses on sustainability and emphasizes that art and culture also play a crucial role in conveying and preserving ecological spaces.
The funding is aimed at educational institutions, non-profit organizations, companies, and private individuals who wish to carry out their projects using an interdisciplinary approach. A prerequisite for the grant is that the project can be classified as sufficiently interdisciplinary and convinces through its practical feasibility. In addition to a sustainable orientation, projects should demonstrate a high innovation potential to achieve long-term impact. As part of the application process, a 10-line project summary, a detailed budget, a planned timeline, and meaningful references must be submitted. These documents form the basis for a transparent evaluation according to the criteria of interdisciplinarity, sustainability, practical feasibility, and innovation potential.
The foundation thus creates opportunities for all actors from the fields of science, art, and culture who are interested in developing innovative approaches to the preservation of ecological habitats. Through ongoing funding, it is possible to realize even non-academic projects that explore new paths in the research and care of sensitive ecosystems. With the support of the Andrea von Braun Foundation, a network is established in which experts from various disciplines can learn from each other and develop synergies. Sustainability and forward-looking ideas are at the center, aiming to protect natural resources and preserve cultural diversity. This initiative provides a valuable platform for implementing practical and creative solutions, thereby making a significant contribution to the conservation of ecological border areas.
