Long-standing Partner for "Jugend forscht" in East Brandenburg

Supporting Young Talents Together

At the East Brandenburg regional competition of "Jugend forscht", young people up to the age of 21 compete with their clever ideas and exciting research questions. EWE supports this youth competition as a sponsoring company, where participants can qualify for supraregional follow-up events.

Germany’s best-known youth science competition has entered its 60th round in 2025 under the motto "Turning Questions into Answers." "Jugend forscht" seeks exciting and innovative research projects from school students, apprentices, and university students with a passion for STEM subjects. "Young people can ask themselves: ‘How does this work? Why is it like this? How can it be improved?’ There are many possible answers. And that’s exactly what ‘Jugend forscht’ is all about. Don’t wait – get involved!" explains Dr. Hendrik Stiemer, competition director for the East Brandenburg regional competition. EWE has been actively involved as a sponsoring company and organizer of the regional competition since 2001.

Building Connections for Future Careers

By participating in the competition, young people can achieve a lot. In some cases, connections made with companies during the competition have even led to future apprenticeships, reports state competition director Christian Theuner. Participants don’t need to be the next Einstein to take part in "Jugend forscht" – curiosity, creativity, and the desire for new challenges are all that’s needed.

The 2025 regional competition took place on February 27, 2025, at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau. The former "Schüler experimentieren" competition was renamed "Jugend forscht junior," allowing students from grade 4 and up, up to a maximum age of 14, to participate. And the months of hard work paid off: 18 out of a total of 67 projects by young researchers from Brandenburg qualified for the two Brandenburg state competitions at the end of February.
