Donating innovation and knowledge

Logo of Staedtler Foundation

“Ideas and knowledge are the key to the future” – this is the guiding principle of the STAEDTLER Foundation, which has been supporting the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region for over 20 years. The charitable foundation has since provided funding of more than ten million euros for cultural and research projects.

The STAEDTLER Foundation is particularly active at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU). The Foundation funds an annual doctoral thesis award and finances “Deutschlandstipendium” scholarships for outstanding academic achievements and commitment to social projects.

In addition, the STAEDTLER Foundation is strongly committed to funding innovative research projects. Since 2018, the STAEDTLER Foundation has been specifically supporting innovative research ideas which are of considerable importance to society and have high levels of innovation. As a strong partner to FAU, the STAEDTLER Foundation has already invested in bold and exceptional projects and thus in pioneering successes for FAU.
