Are you a Green Talent? If yes, so apply for the Green Talent Competition 2013 to be awarded as one of the 25 outstanding young scientists who become a Green Talent in 2013.

   The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is now holding the 5th round of its prestigious "Green Talents – International Forum for High Potentials in Sustainable Development". The competition, under the patronage of Minister Professor Johanna Wanka, annually awards the 25 most outstanding minds worldwide. Hailing from various research disciplines, the winners are honored for their original solutions for a more sustainable future.

Selected by a high-ranking jury of German experts, the "Green Talents" will be invited to a two-week science forum, touring Germany in the fall of 2013. This visit will not only grant them unique access to some of the country's hot spots of sustainable development but also allows the participants to exchange ideas with peers and senior scientists.

The year following the forum, the winners are invited to return to Germany for an additional research stay of up to three months at an institute or company of their choice.
