Klaus Tschira Foundation

In 1995, Klaus Tschira, physicist and co-founder of the software company SAP, founded the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS). With the intention to place strong emphasis on natural sciences in the society, the commitment of the KTS ranges from kindergarten to schools, universities and research institutions all over Germany. The support is differentiated in three main fields: natural sciences for children and young people, research and science communication. The foundation is located at the Villa Bosch in Heidelberg, the former residence of Nobel Prize laureate for chemistry Carl Bosch.

Helmholtz-Initiative Synthetic Biology

The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organization. The Association brings together 18 scientific-technical and biological-medical research centres and follows the tradition of the great natural scientist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894). The Helmholtz Association is dedicated to pursuing the long-term research goals of state and society, and to maintaining and improving the livelihoods of the population. In order to do this, the Helmholtz Association carries out top-level research to identify and explore the major challenges facing society, science and the economy. Its work is divided into six strategic research fields: Energy; Earth and Environment; Health; Key Technologies; Structure of Matter; and Aeronautics, Space and Transport. The Helmholtz Initiative on Synthetic Biology has been supporting the emerging field of synthetic biology since September 2012.
