Challenge for young inventors from Bavaria at Audi

A passion for hosting: Audi welcomes pupils, students and apprentices from Bavaria to the 40th regional deciding round of “Youth Research” and “Pupils Experiment” in Ingolstadt. On Wednesday, February 27 and Thursday, February 28, 129 young scientists will present their research projects in the fields of biology, physics, informatics and technology at the Audi Training Centre. 83 young people up to the age of 14 will be competing in the junior category “Pupils Experiment” and 46 young people between the ages of 15 and 21 will be competing in the “Youth Research” category. The motto of the two inventors’ compe­titions is “Ask Yourself,” and gives the participants plenty of creative freedom for their ideas.

As the partner company, Audi is organizing the regional competition for the 40th time. “Innovation thrives on the questions asked by researchers and inventors,” says Wendelin Göbel, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Human Resources. “I am excited and confident that the young researchers will present us a lot of promising answers at the end of the competition. The winners will receive certificates from the jury of experts and will thus qualify for the Bavarian competitions in April in Vilsbiburg (“Youth Research”) and Dingolfing (“Pupils Experiment”). The federal final of “Youth Research” will take place in Chemnitz from May 16 to 19. This year, more than 12,000 participants throughout Germany have registered for the youth competition.
