Bonn – The goal of sustainable development is to find a
balance between the need for socio-economic development and the need to preserve
the environment, and to thus meet the requirements of present and future
generations. The 2016 Green Talents competition will address the effects of
climate change, pollution and overfishing on the earth’s biggest natural resources,
the oceans, in line with the German Federal Ministry of Education and
Research’s Science Year 2016/2017, which is devoted to the “Seas and Oceans”.
These issues, as well as the challenges facing our environment in general,demand international
research cooperation.
“Green Talents – International Forum for High Potentials
in Sustainable Development” was called into life in 2009 by the German Federal
Ministry of Education and Research to promote the international exchange of
innovative green ideas from various fields of research. Every year, the
Ministry honours 25 young researchers with the “Green Talents” award, under the
patronage of Minister Johanna Wanka. Since its inception, the award has recognized
157 young researchers and scientists from 46 different countries for their
outstanding achievements and contributions to making their communities,
countries and societies more sustainable. The award-winners are selected by a
