Jugend Forscht
From 4th grade up to age 21, Jugend forscht offers young researchers the opportunity to carry out their own research projects and present them in competition.
The future belongs to today’s thinkers and researchers. Jugend forscht is not only a competition, but also a talent incubator for young minds with innovative ideas and a passion for science. This is where real support for young talent comes to life.
Supporters in Thuringia include volunteer project mentors, jurors, and research sponsors. In addition, educators and teachers are involved as competition coordinators across the seven STEM regions.
With the Thuringian Student Research Centers, we offer young researchers ideal conditions and professional expertise to carry out their own research projects.
»Jugend forscht zeigt, was passiert, wenn junge Menschen mit ihren Ideen, ihrer Neugier und ihrem Mut, Dinge anders zu denken, ernst genommen, bestärkt und gefördert werden.«
