University Funding – Frank Hirschvogel Foundation

The university funding program of the Frank Hirschvogel Foundation is aimed at students as well as project groups at domestic and international universities who develop innovative teaching and learning formats in the fields of STEM and robotics. As a grant program, the foundation supports seminars and project work with the goal of promoting forward-looking research, technological innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and require a precise project description, information about the involved project group or seminar structure, as well as a clear focus on STEM or robotics topics. Evaluation criteria include the degree of innovation, the subject focus, and the potential for cooperation between the university and other partners.

Eligible for funding are both educational institutions and private individuals who actively implement teaching and learning concepts while pursuing practice-oriented research approaches. The Frank Hirschvogel Foundation places great value on international orientation and supports projects that enable cross-border cooperation. Applications must include an online inquiry form, a detailed project description, and information about the project group. Thanks to the continuous submission option, project ideas can be presented at any time and reviewed promptly. Interested parties will receive feedback after submission, in which possible implementation paths and funding modalities are individually coordinated. The university funding thus offers an attractive opportunity to advance technical future topics in a practice-oriented manner and to expand the network with experts from research and industry.
