About the Fellowship

The next generation: Our fellowships & stipends provide unique opportunities for brilliant young people to develop essential skills, gain new perspectives, and build important relationships around the globe. Through this support, we aim to provide exceptional individuals the opportunity to have a positive impact on the world and become the boundary-breakers of tomorrow.

With equity and collaboration at the core of our fellowships, our varied programs offer fantastic opportunities or support for a wide range of individuals.

For Student Teachers & Teachers –

Science is for everyone, not just scientists. We believe that trust in science begins with making science education exciting and inclusive for all pupils, regardless of whether they want to become scientists or not. Through our actions at Bayer Foundation, we want to give all children and young people the ability to understand the science that effects their lives as well as inspire the next generation of scientists.

This fellowship is designed for teachers that will shape the perspectives of future generations and provides funding for internships, research projects, further training and science communication relating to STEM (science, technology, engineering & mathematics)-education.

• Trainee teachers or students of pedagogy (postgraduate) with a focus on STEM subjects
• Newly qualified teachers (< 3 years) with a primary focus on STEM subjects
• Grundschule or Förderschule teachers seeking to enhance their capacity and knowledge regarding STEM education.

For Apprentices and Young Professionals -

You do not need a degree to change the world. Not everyone thinks the same way, and by providing opportunities for brilliant young people without an academic background, we want to bring a diversity of perspectives to the forefront of science.

This unique fellowship can be used for internships, research projects, personal development (including language courses), as well as to support young parents undertaking further training.
