Science Engagement

The WWF 2°Campus selects 20 participants from 15 to 19 years old every year to conduct joint research projects for climate change mitigation. In groups of 5 and supported by scientific mentors from our partner universities, the students work on problems regarding energy, mobility, food and housing. They consult literature, conduct interviews or experiments and gather data in order to answer their research questions. This is complemented by communication trainings and nature connection elements.
