Sparkling Science is a research programme from the Federal Ministry of Science and Research which is breaking unconventional and unique ground in the promotion of young scientists in Europe.
Special features of the programme: Scientists work side by side with young people on over 100 research projects in which
the young colleagues are not just involved as observers but where they actively take over and work independently on
parts of the research.

Research is carried out on current research questions from a variety of different topic areas. From mechatronics via molecular biology to migration research, from acoustics via biometrics to literary science.
As junior colleagues, schoolchildren contribute important suggestions to the research approach; they contribute to the conception and implementation of investigations, carry out surveys, collect data, interpret these together with scientists and present the results to schools, universities and even at scientific conferences.

Project of the day
"Green Chemistry" – Research and Education Cooperation
The combination of first class research with the promotion of young scientists already at the interface between school and university proves itself to be an exceptionally successful win—win model for breaking down barriers which results in lasting institutional partnerships.
