The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has held the prestigious “Green Talents – International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development” to promote the international exchange of ideas regarding green solutions since 2009. The award, whose patron is Minister Professor Johanna Wanka, honours 25 young researchers from around the world each year. The winners come from various scientific disciplines and are recognized for their outstanding achievements in making our societies more sustainable. This year the award is devoted to “Sustainable Production and Consumption”. Although it focusses on behavior changing projects or new technologies to change production methods, the call is still open to ALL disciplines. The submission period for the Green Talents Competition 2017 is open now.
