Project Funding by the Ambos Foundation for Innovative Teaching and Learning

The Ambos Foundation supports educational initiatives nationwide that redefine teaching and learning through scientific accompaniment and creative approaches. Non-profit organizations, educational institutions, companies, foundations, associations, interest groups, start-ups, as well as individuals can apply for grants for projects that demonstrate a high degree of innovation and can be directly applied to everyday educational situations. The focus is on thematic areas such as sustainable education, digitalization, social cohesion, work & social affairs, as well as initial and continuing education. Particular emphasis is placed on concepts that create inclusive learning environments, develop practice-oriented formats, and have a clear connection to educational research. Commitment to the common good and impact on learners of all ages are central aspects in the selection process.

Applications can be submitted continuously, enabling flexible planning. Key evaluation criteria include the degree of innovation, practical relevance, demonstrable impact, and scientific research linkage. Financial support strengthens both local and international initiatives that sustainably advance the education system. The continuous funding opportunity offers project teams the chance to establish long-term collaborations and to test ideas over an extended period. Participants receive not only financial resources but also benefit from an expert advisory board that accompanies implementation and provides impulses for high-quality realization.
