With our operational work, in our networks and with cooperation partners, we face the current challenges of our society.
In the “Education” area, we focus on combining STEM competencies (short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), digital skills and creativity - as the key to helping shape tomorrow’s world today. In Hamburg and across Germany, we work together with partners on regional ecosystems for future education, and develop creative spaces in which curiosity and the spirit of research can flourish. We network, inspire and qualify the people who implement concrete educational programmes locally, and make good practice visible. In this respect, we are driven above all by the desire to open up opportunities for young people, regardless of their respective starting conditions, and to promote talents in all their diversity.
