School Research Projects

From 2007 until 2011, in addition to the funding of big research projects, the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy also provided funds for excellent and innovative school research projects in the framework of which schools wanted to actively support current research activities of scientists. The 30 highest scoring projects received awards as well as research prizes of up to 5,000 euros each. 

The aim of this second, smaller funding track of the programme was to support projects in which schoolchildren, teachers and researchers worked together directly and carried out investigations together.
