Promoting research, science, and education, preferably in the context of technology, mathematics, natural sciences, or economics. This includes student scholarships and educational projects for children, young people, and university students in the STEM fields.
The Elmos Foundation was a sponsor of the WRO German Finals 2025 in Dortmund. The World Robot Olympiad is an international robotics competition for children and young people. The aim of the competition is to get more children and young people interested in technology in the long term and to spark their interest in pursuing an apprenticeship or degree in the STEM fields.
The German final took place in Dortmund in June 2025. A total of 138 teams (104 RoboMission, 22 Future Innovators, 12 Future Engineers) competed against each other in all WRO competition categories at the event in the exhibition halls. The teams had previously qualified in 55 regional competitions.
In addition to the competition, the finals featured a STEM supporting program with booths and workshops. The event was a great success for participants and organizers alike and also received a lot of attention on social media.
Example: Supporting Bright Minds – Germany Scholarship at TU Dortmund University, FH Dortmund and the University of Duisburg-Essen
The Germany Scholarship supports high-achieving and talented students. In addition to academic performance, social engagement, willingness to take on responsibility, and special personal circumstances are also taken into account.
The Elmos Foundation supports several scholarship recipients each year at the Technical University of Dortmund, the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences, and the University of Duisburg-Essen. The support gives students a sense of recognition, which, based on experience, has a very positive effect on their studies. The financial support allows students to focus on their studies. The Elmos Foundation aims above all to motivate young talents in the technical field to engage in innovation and progress in science and industry.
The GET Racing Team at TU Dortmund develops, designs, and manufactures electric-powered racing cars for the international Formula Student design competition.
Each season, around 40 students work on producing a fully-fledged, regulation-compliant vehicle for the competition within a year. The competition takes place in the summer months in a total of 22 different countries. The team from Dortmund usually participates in two to three events within Europe. The dynamic behavior of the race car is tested there. The team must defend the concept, financing, and design of the prototype in front of a jury.
GET Racing offers students of engineering, computer science, and related fields a good insight into the entire vehicle and autonomous driving. Through their work at GET Racing, students gain a great deal of practical experience in their field of expertise. This results in a high level of motivation for further study, which the Elmos Foundation is happy to support.
