Project Funding by the MELETE Foundation (Applied Research)

The MELETE Foundation supports nationwide pioneering projects in applied research, focusing on sustainability and innovation. In the funding priorities of Artificial Intelligence, Medical Technology, Environmental Technologies, and Drinking Water Analysis, the foundation continuously awards grants to interdisciplinary project teams. The goal is to support practical solutions developed in collaboration with research institutions and industry. Synergies between universities, institutes (such as Fraunhofer or Helmholtz), companies, and start-ups are sought to actively accompany the path from idea to market readiness.

Applications are open to educational institutions, companies, non-profit organizations, public entities, and start-ups. A prerequisite is a focus on innovative and sustainable research projects and a willingness to cooperate with scientific partners or industrial enterprises. Submissions of funding applications are possible without fixed deadlines, allowing for flexible project start dates. Through the structured allocation of grants, the MELETE Foundation makes an important contribution to the promotion of science and technology with regard to climate, environmental, and health aspects.
