The Robert Bosch Foundation would like to confront the lack of academic talent involved in research and training in early education.

Each year, the Research and Study Program on Education in Early Childhood - Excellent Young Academics for the Sciences offers 15 young academics a comprehensive and module-based further-education program that runs for four years.

Within 24 months, the young academics receive numerous individually tailored further-education offers. These offers, which are in module form, are related to education in early childhood, and accompany their qualification work (doctorate or postdoctorate qualification).

The Young Leaders Forum addresses itself to young leaders from Japan and Germany aged between 25 to 35 years. The programme's aims are to support German-Japanese cooperation and to contribute to fostering mutual relations. In line with a summer school on a socio-political topic with high relevance to both countries it gives participants the opportunity to exchange viewpoints and experiences on an interdisciplinary and international level. A round trip conveys an insight into institutions and companies in their regional environments. The place of the Forum’s location annually alternates between Germany and Japan.
