Touring Germany from one station to the next, the Green Talents learn about the research that is being conducted and gain an exclusive look behind the scenes while visiting labs or production sites. They also get the chance to discuss their projects with other scientists and hear about the research and working conditions in Germany. The tour is organised and accompanied by DLR Projektträger of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). All expenses during the tour as well as the journey to and from Germany are covered by the ministry. Have a look at the different tours and get a deeper insight on this unique network of excellent research institutions, universities and companies, which have been visited since the beginning of the Green Talents Competition in 2009.
