Over €500,000 in school funding

Leverkusen – This year the Bayer Science & Education Foundation will provide more than €500,000 in funding to 42 schools in the communities near Bayer’s German sites. The money will be used to finance projects aimed at improving science teaching. All the projects are designed to arouse interest in science and technology among schoolchildren, make learning more fun, support talented students from an early age and help them in choosing a career. Last year the foundation distributed approximately €400,000 in funding. An independent Foundation Council selected the programs that will receive funding. All support projects are sustainable, with the goal of introducing innovative teaching methods or implementing exemplary initiatives that supplement regular instruction and create worthwhile educational opportunities.
