YOUR PROJECT

The support agreement is concluded in a discussion with the management during a support meeting. Your project will be publicised on the Gebert Rüf Stiftung website. This web presentation text should be regularly updated. The project managers are responsible for the details entered.

Interim and final reports must be submitted by the contractually agreed deadlines in accordance with the following guidelines. The project is formally concluded with a debriefing interview. The discussion examines whether both parties adhered to the support agreement and analyses the knowledge gained as a result of the grant-making relationship and the project with regard to content and strategy.

«Public understanding of science» is an integral grant-making objective of Gebert Rüf Stiftung and is therefore an activity that accompanies each individual project: project managers undertake to regard extra-scientific, public communication as part of the scientific project work and to act accordingly. In addition to public relations work directed at the media, three binding commitments are to be met:
 

1. School Visit

The project manager conducts a guided tour of the laboratory/research premises for a secondary school class (level I or II).

2. Smovie Workshop to prepare the Final Impact Clip

In the 1-day workshop you will learn the basics of filming (interview techniques, speaking in front of the camera, voiceover, editing on the smartphone, the use of graphic elements) and the structure of the «Final Impact Clip» which will be submitted with the final report of the GRS project. At the end of the workshop you will have produced your first own Smovie.

Gebert Rüf Stiftung offers the Smovie courses in collaboration with Peter Bopp Stiftung für Forschung und Technik. Only project managers or project staff from the two foundations are eligible to participate. One participant per project is foreseen, with costs covered by the foundations.

3. Final Impact Clip

Each project team creates a short film for social media at the end of the project. The short clip shows what has been achieved with the support of Gebert Rüf Stiftung and how the project will be continued. The short film must be submitted with the final report and will be published via Gebert Rüf Stiftung's social media channels and website.

From May 2024, the preparatory Smovie workshops (see above) will teach video production in vertical format. Choose the following instructions according to the course you attended.

Each project that is supported must include targeted public relations work. This involves publicizing in suitable print and mass media the specific contribution the project is making to solving a socially relevant problem. There is an obligation under the support agreement to mention our project partnership in accordance with clear guidelines wherever appropriate.
