Call

For donations to promote youth development in the field of Smart Systems Integration in honour of Prof. Dr. Thomas Geßner

Professor Geßner worked as a scientist at the interface between science, industry and politics. His work was not only characterized by initiating new fields of relevant basic research, but also by his efforts to transform scientific knowledge into application-oriented research and new products. He saw an important future technology in the combination of microelectronics, microsystems technology and other components for Smart Integrated Systems and consistently pressed ahead with its implementation. As a university professor, but also as a person, he took a particular interest in the training and promotion of young scientists. He supported the introduction and establishment of new interdisciplinary courses, supervised term papers and theses and was an examiner. In order to continue these efforts for the promotion of young scientists in the field of Smart Systems Integration, the management of the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS asks for donations to be sent to:

Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V.
IBAN: DE86 7007 0010 0752 1933 00   |   BIC: DEUTDEMM   |   Bank: Deutsche Bank, München
Kennwort: Nachwuchsförderung Thomas Geßner

 

This money is meant to support students / Ph.D. candidates. Depending on the amount of donations received, Fraunhofer ENAS offers the following:

  • Free training / supplementary qualification of very good students / Ph.D. candidates
  • Prize for outstanding scientific work (master thesis / dissertation) in the field Smart Systems Integration

Should the amount of donations received make it possible to establish a foundation, we instead reserve the right to put these funds into the capital reserve of a foundation that is to be established with the aim of promoting young scientists, particularly in the field of Smart Systems Integration.

Note:
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung promotes science and research and is exempted from corporate taxes (last notice of exemption: Sept 25, 2015). For donations of up to 200 euros, it is enough for tax purposes to provide a printout of this call for donations together with a confirmation of your bank that shows the name and account number or other identifier of the account holder and the recipient, the amount, the date of the transaction and the actual booking of the transaction. A separate donation receipt is not required in such cases. For amounts exceeding 200 euros, a separate donation receipt will be issued if the necessary conditions are met. In these cases we ask you to give us your address.
