From the 4th grade to the age of 21 – Jugend offers young researchers the opportunity to realize 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 factory for young minds with innovative ideas and a passion for science. This is where real promotion of young talent is lived!

Supporters in Thuringia are volunteer project supervisors, jurors and research mentors. In addition, pedagogical specialists and teachers are involved as competition leaders in the seven STEM regions.

With the Thuringian Student Research Centres , we offer young researchers ideal conditions and technical expertise to realise 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.«
