Cutting-edge research is essential to addressing the pressing issues of the future. However, public funding is often not approved until most of the preliminary work has already been completed. Through your support, you can provide effective initial funding for new ideas and research approaches.
The University of Cologne Foundation plans to help promising research projects get off the ground—for example, by providing seed funding or endowed professorships. Two clusters of excellence at the University of Cologne, among other examples, demonstrate the societal impact your donation can have.
