Student sponsorship
The TÜV Nord-Vereine continue to expand their commitment to the Deutschlandstipendium 2024. The TÜV NORD GROUP shareholder will be supporting a total of 85 students at universities and colleges in 2024.
The support for Bachelor's and Master's students, mainly from computer science, technical or natural science degree programmes at Leibniz Universität, Hochschule Hannover, TU Hamburg-Harburg, HAW Hamburg, TU Braunschweig and TU Clausthal has already been in place for over ten years. New additional scholarships have been awarded at the University of Hamburg, TH Lübeck, the University of Rostock, the West Coast University of Applied Sciences, TU Darmstadt and TU Berlin.
The Deutschlandstipendium was introduced in 2010 by the then federal government. Private sponsors pay 150 euros per month for each scholarship, with the federal government providing the same amount. Most state and state-recognised universities in Germany now offer this programme to support top students through the federal government and private sponsors. In addition to first-class grades, social commitment and special personal achievements are also taken into account. For example, students may be involved in sports clubs or political parties, care for relatives, be single parents or have a refugee or migrant background.
Financial commitment to technological developments
At Clausthal University of Technology, the TÜV Nord-vereine are supporting the doctorate of a doctoral student, who is working on the question of whether existing gas storage facilities are also suitable for storing hydrogen. The TÜV NORD company DMT is supporting the project.
Another project at the Institute of Photonics at Leibniz Universität Hannover is looking at quantum mechanical methods for developing a security standard for tap-proof satellite communication. This project is being supported by ALTER TECHNOLOGY. TÜV NORD GROUP will benefit from the knowledge gained in the long term.
