Education

Supporting sustainable solutions

In order to strengthen the basis for creating viable and sustainable solutions for future challenges, we also support projects within higher education, which can help increase and diversify the interest in science, technology, engineering and design, and/or digitalisation. This shall in time ensure a development where even more young people choose a higher education within natural sciences, technology, engineering and design, and that society hereby gains a strengthened, qualified and diversified workforce within the areas of natural sciences and technology.
