Forum Junge Spitzenforschung 2025 – Topic: Water & Water Management
In 2025, the Forum Junge Spitzenforschung is looking for innovative ideas on the topic of water and water management.

The competition invites early-career researchers to submit scientific concepts that demonstrate how water can be used sustainably and managed efficiently in industry, cities, and society.
The call seeks application-oriented research approaches that develop forward-looking solutions – for example through smart technologies, digital water management, or innovative materials that help conserve resources and open up new perspectives for a sustainable future.
