Project Funding of the Leopold Klinge Foundation

The Leopold Klinge Foundation supports scientific research projects nationwide as well as their practical implementation in the field of curative education, with a special focus on young people. Public and non-profit institutions may submit projects that primarily address issues related to curative education, inclusive education, and adjacent fields. Funding is provided for both basic studies on curative educational attitudes, developmental support, and integration, as well as innovative approaches in areas such as deaf education, speech development disorders, or media for inclusive early childhood education. The foundation also supports publications and scientific events to sustainably integrate findings into teaching and practice.

Applications can be submitted continuously without fixed deadlines. A prerequisite is a qualified application by scientifically active public or non-profit institutions using the cover sheet for project funding applications. Additionally, a current tax exemption certificate, a concise summary, a detailed project description with work program and timeline, as well as a detailed financing plan must be submitted. This provides the foundation with a flexible funding structure that considers both initial projects and follow-up projects in the field of curative education. This open awarding practice offers research institutions the opportunity to set impulses for inclusive teaching and learning and to sustainably shape the living environment of young people.
