LAUDA SUPPORTS YOUNG SCIENTISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WÜRZBURG
Commitment to 'Deutschlandstipendium' underlines social responsibility
Lauda-Königshofen, February 12, 2025 – LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG is supporting the ‘Deutschlandstipendium’ (German public-private scholarship) program of the Julius-Maximilian-University Würzburg (JMU) for the second time. At the scholarship award ceremony in the historic Toscana Hall of the Würzburg Residence, the students were honored for their outstanding academic achievements and social commitment.
The ‘Deutschlandstipendium’ opens up educational opportunities for high-achieving students of all nationalities, regardless of their social background. In addition to particular success at school and university, the selection criteria also include social commitment and a willingness to take on responsibility. The monthly grant of 300 euros is funded in equal parts by private sponsors such as LAUDA and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
“As the global market leader in the field of precise temperature control, LAUDA is aware of its social responsibility,” emphasizes Dr. Gunther Wobser, President & CEO of LAUDA. “It is particularly important to us to reward highly talented students for their outstanding studies and social commitment. The ‘Deutschlandstipendium’ scholarship enables them to concentrate fully on their studies.”
Julius-Maximilian-University Würzburg, where 14 Nobel Prize winners have already taught, has been supporting young talents with the ‘Deutschlandstipendium’ since 2011. In the 2023/24 funding year, 45 students were supported – and the trend is rising. Nationwide, around 30,000 students benefit from the support of more than 9,000 private donors. For the current academic year 2024/25, LAUDA was able to support three outstanding female students as one of the scholarship donors: Dr. Wobser personally congratulated the scholarship holders Vera Schuhmann, Kira Diemer and Eva Viktoria Münzel on their outstanding academic successes during the scholarship award ceremony.
“As a family business, we have been working towards a better future with technical innovations for almost 70 years,” explains Dr. Wobser. “Supporting the ‘Deutschlandstipendium’ is part of the ongoing commitment of LAUDA to progress and innovation in science. We will continue to support talented students from the University of Würzburg in the coming years and invite them to join our company.”
The festive setting for the award ceremony included performances by a string quartet and words of welcome from Prof. Dr. Doris Fischer, Vice President for Internationalization and Alumni at JMU, and other representatives from business and society.
