VolkswagenStiftung
For
some 40 years now the Volkswagen Foundation has been fulfilling its commitment
to the furtherance of the humanities and social sciences as well as science
and technology in higher education and research. It is an autonomous non-profit
organization incorporated under private law; its offices are located in
Hanover. At present the Foundation provides funds amounting to around
100 million euros per year. It is the largest private research-funding
foundation in Germany. The Volkswagen Foundation provides financial support
to academic institutions in Germany, as well as other countries, and funding
is available for projects in all disciplines. Another important part of
its mission is to provide support for aspiring young academics, promote
international exchange and to enhance the structural conditions for research
and higher education. To date, the Volkswagen Foundation has allocated
a total of three billion euros to projects in Germany and all over the
world.
