Schader Foundation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schader Foundation is a non-profit foundation under civil law based in Darmstadt . It finances its promotional activities from the proceeds of the private fortune donated by Alois M. Schader . The Schader Foundation was established in 1988.

Foundation purpose

The purpose of the foundation is to promote the social sciences . The foundation wants to promote communication and cooperation between the social sciences and practice as well as practical orientation in the social sciences. The Schader Foundation sees itself as a dialogue platform that enables, carries out, moderates and sometimes also publishes scientific, public and civil society projects.

The funding activity is divided into six subject areas:

  • Common good and responsibility
  • Democracy and engagement
  • Sustainable development
  • Diversity and inclusion
  • Urban development and housing
  • Communication and culture
  • Demography and structural change

The Schader Foundation mainly promotes by organizing event cooperations in its own foundation center in Darmstadt. The purpose of the foundation, the dialogue between social sciences and practice, means that scientific projects also consistently involve practice. According to the foundation's statutes, "social sciences are understood to mean all sciences that deal with the further development of the community." A "Call for Conferences" is aimed at the sociological specialist societies and at projects of the German Research Foundation .

s: ne system innovation for sustainable development

From January 1, 2018 to the end of 2022, the Schader Foundation, as a strategic partner of the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, has been offering an innovation and transformation platform in the project "s: ne System Innovation for Sustainable Development - Transfer as a Learning Process in the Region". s: ne is financed from the federal and state funding initiative “ Innovative University ” of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research. With around two million euros per year and a term of five years, the efforts of the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences to work closely with actors from science and business in the region in teaching and research in the field of sustainable development and relevant actors from the region as well as other universities are supported , bringing together non-university research and civil society in a transformative process and transferring the transfer activities of the university in several phases into a “learning system”. The first thematic priorities are: Sustainable cities and settlements, sustainable consumption and production methods, and the digital city.

Integration potential in social sciences and practice

The aim of the project is to sustainably strengthen the integration potential of people with a migration background, to increase their initiative and social self-efficacy, to anchor the topic of integration in social science debates, to strengthen the exchange between social sectors, with social science and other sciences, competencies of To expand participants and to achieve the structural improvement of the cooperation and social co-production of people with and without a direct migration background. The individual events of the project primarily promote the exchange between social sectors and science. The three-year project (2016-2019) is funded by the state program WIR of the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration.

Summer camps

Every two years, the Schader Foundation, in cooperation with the ZEIT Foundation , offers Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius summer camps as an interdisciplinary program for students in higher semesters, doctoral candidates and young professionals with a maximum of three years of professional experience. In the summer camp, we design interdisciplinary composed dialogue projects within the framework of a given, mostly wide-ranging topic. The sponsors of the summer camp promise to implement one of the developed projects afterwards, to develop it further or to promote it with funding.
Topics of the summer camps:
2019: Real communication in public spaces
2017: Safe in the city. Coexistence and Conflict in Urban Space
2015: New Responsibilities - Society, Common Good, Design

From 2007 to 2017, the gallery of the Schader Foundation cooperated with the Hessian State Museum Darmstadt in two exhibition series: “Dialogues - Social Sciences and Art” (2014–2017) and “Images of Social Change” (2007–2012).
