CAMPAIGN ZUKUNFT STIFTEN 2013-2019

The Ruperto Carola Campaign ZUKUNFT STIFTEN (2013-2019) pursued the following three goals: creating opportunity for action, supporting bright minds, and shaping the campus. It especially wanted to grow the university‘s endowment giving the Ruperto Carola a greater scope for action. Many alumni as well as friends and supporters here in Germany and abroad got involved and were a part of its success.

Thanks to the campaign, a lot has happened at Heidelberg University. Specialised funds have been created offering a wealth of options to support Heidelberg University – from the support of students in need to the support of young researchers and the preservation of historic gardens, collections or museums of the university. These funds will be retained as important funding instruments. The campaign also made it possible to actively shape the university, e.g. by awarding prizes, setting up a foundation professorship or by supporting projects.

We would like to give you a quick overview of the multifaceted nature of the campaign ZUKUNFT STIFTEN.
