During the first week of September the winners were invited by Professor Annette Schavan, Federal Research Minister and the patron of the competition, to visit some of Germany’s best-known environmental technology venues.
The "Green Talents" were shown around German universities, research institutions and companies involved in projects spanning various areas of technology, including fields such as global climate change, cleansing contaminated land, processing water and wastewater, and researching new fuels based on biomass and photovoltaics.
