Alumni Göttingen Student Garden – Call For Projects
In August 2020, Alumni Göttingen e. V. was provided with an allotment garden close to the Kiessee. Since autumn 2020, various student projects have been running in the garden (www.alumni-goettingen.de/garten/?lang=us).
For 2022, we invite new projects to be realized in the garden. With support of Stiftung WissenWecken (www.stiftung-wissenwecken.org), Alumni Göttingen provides funding for projects related to sustainable small-scale land use, urban gardening or environmental education. Possible topics are, e.g., subsistence farming on urban land, pollinator-/insect-friendly vegetation for urban areas, water-saving cultivation of vegetables or fruits, etc. The garden comprises plot of approx. 20 m2 and a couple of old fruit trees.
Individual projects can receive funding of up to 1,000 Euro for material expenses.
WHO CAN TAKE PART IN THE CALL?
Students enrolled at Göttingen University can apply as individuals or teams. The call is open to applications from any faculty.
HOW CAN YOU APPLY?
Please provide your proposal per e-mail. The proposal needs to cover the following:
- a description of the project that clearly states the goal of the project, methods, the schedule and mile stones
- a cost projection that clearly outlines expected material expenses
- an outline of how results of the project will be documented and published (e. g. as a digital booklet, education material, etc.). The creation of a durable product is a prerequisite to any project funding. The project needs to be documented by a final report.
Please address your proposal to info@alumni-goettingen.de before 15 January 2022.
If you have any questions on the topic of your project and for any questions on the application process, feel free to contact Dr. Laura Breitsameter, Stiftung WissenWecken, l.breitsameter@stiftung-wissenwecken.org
