Sustainability and a resource-efficient design of research processes are important issues for the foundation. It therefore provides its funding recipients with funds to have their laboratories certified as sustainable through respective certification programs.

This additional funding is intended to help reduce the environmental footprint of research institutions and promote sustainable practices in everyday laboratory work.

What is funded?

Scientists have the opportunity to apply for an additional 3,000 EUR per research laboratory involved in a project, in addition to the regular funding amount, to certify their laboratories as sustainable via programs such as LEAF or MyGreenLab.

How to apply

You can easily apply for Sustainability Funds at the same time as you apply for your project, directly in the application portal. It is not possible to apply retrospectively after a grant has already been issued.
