Youth research 2017
Young researchers selected
The winners of the 2017 national final of Jugend forscht have been announced: at the end of May, Federal Education Minister Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka presented awards to the best young researchers. Computer&AUTOMATION presents the national winners in computer science and technology, including special prize winners.
Over 12,200 young researchers have registered for the 52nd round of Jugend forscht since July 2016 under the motto "Future - I'm shaping it!". Out of these, 178 young talents qualified for the final of the young talent competition with their 107 research projects. In the Heinrich-Lades-Halle in Erlangen, the inventors presented their projects in the fields of work, biology, chemistry, earth and space sciences, mathematics/computer science, physics and technology. Computer&AUTOMATION presents a selection of the ideas and projects with which they were successful this year:
"When it comes to shaping the world of tomorrow, it depends on them as bright minds, as young researchers," said Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka, Federal Minister of Education and Research, at the award ceremony. Her appeal: "You will have the chance to take on responsibility, work for sustainable development and realize good ideas. Make use of your opportunities and try things out, dare to do something!" This year's national competition was organized by the Jugend forscht Foundation and Siemens.
