"Green Talents" Video Diaries

The German Federal Research Ministry’s "Green Talents" award is directed at 15 outstanding scientific minds in the field of  environmental technology. 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.

At the sixth BMBF Forum for Sustainability (FONA) in Hamburg, which  represented the culmination of the "Green Talents Forum", Professor Frieder Meyer-Krahmer, State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), received the "Green Talents" and  honoured them for their research work.
