The initiative intended to promote STEM to young people – A Heart for Science – honored
- Over 300 ZEISS employees worldwide are getting involved with A Heart for Science
- Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier commended this initiative at the Bürgerfest (Citizens’ festival) in Berlin, Germany.
A Heart for Science (AH4S) only exists because of ZEISS employees’ willingness to get involved and give of their free time: Their objective is to awaken enthusiasm for nature and technology among young people. And who could do that better than the people who are already pushing the boundaries of what is technically feasible at ZEISS today? The volunteers pass on their knowledge to the explorers of tomorrow. Since the initiative was launched a year ago, the number of committed employees has grown steadily with more than 300 employees at over 40 sites worldwide now involved in over 30 projects.
Honoring voluntary work
Last weekend, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier recognized this type of voluntary work at the Bürgerfest (Citizens’ festival) held on the grounds of Schloss Bellevue, Berlin, Germany. Projects, organizations, and companies presenting their voluntary work were the focus of the event. ZEISS was also on-site with a stand. Visitors were able to learn more about individual AH4S projects and talk with volunteers at the open day at Schloss Bellevue.
