"explore" - the Volkswagen Foundation and its international focus  

In its new English-language brochure "explore", the Volkswagen Foundation provides information on how it understands its task of supporting  research and higher education – in Germany and all over the world.

Being curious, asking questions, exploring new areas - that's what makes not only discoverers and adventurers, but also researchers. For the latter, the initial exploration is followed by intensive research and testing, a phase which requires a wide range of resources in addition to time and stamina, if the results are to be valid. It is the purpose of the Volkswagen Foundation to support this process. As a funder of research and higher education, it is not only committed to the progress of science and innovative research structures, it also facilitates unusual ideas and projects that would otherwise not be possible.  

What exactly are the goals of the Volkswagen Foundation? How does it provide funding? What does its concept for international cooperation look like?  Answers to these questions can be found in the new English brochure "explore". The publication presents concisely the most important facts about the Foundation and some examples of funded projects - especially in an international context. 

We would be pleased if "explore" would meet your interest. Please feel free to pass it on to your international contacts.
