The Audi Environmental Foundation is committed to promoting research into new technologies and scientific methods that will help create a sustainable future. The Foundation’s main objective is to make a meaningful contribution to environmental protection and to promote ways of living sustainably. The Foundation is a 100-percent subsidiary of AUDI AG and was established in 2009 as part of the company’s social and environmental commitment.
To address the challenges of scarce resources, environmental destruction, climate change, and population growth, the Foundation focuses on promoting and developing environmentally compatible technologies, measures for environmental education, and protecting the natural necessities of life for humans, animals, and plants. The Audi Environmental Foundation recognizes that the challenges that confront us are increasingly complex and can only be addressed by working with partners to develop good concepts and sound solutions.
In line with this commitment, the Audi Environmental Foundation has partnered with One Young World to offer scholarships to 15 inspiring young leaders to attend the One Young World Summit 2024 in Montréal (Tiohtià :ke), Canada. This scholarship is intended for young leaders who are driving change and tackling the climate crisis through innovative new technologies, the advancement of climate education, or the preservation of ecosystems through halting or reversing land degradation.
The One Young World Scholarship Programme offers fully funded support to attend the Summit in Montreal, Canada. The programme covers hotel accommodation, catering, and transport between the Summit accommodation and the Summit venue. Additionally, the scholarship includes participation at the pre-event by Audi AG and the Audi Environmental Foundation. The deadline for application is March 17, 2024, and is open to young leaders aged 18-30 from all countries who commit to delivering positive change, demonstrated capacity for leadership, understanding of key local and/or global issues, and a track record of generating impactful and innovative solutions to environmental challenges. If you are interested and qualified, you can apply on the One Young World website.
