Since 2008 the Bayer Science & Education Foundation awards scholarships to school students from Germany. With the aid of this scholarships young people travel to Pittsburgh, USA, to take part in a two-week science camp. For two weeks, the so-called "Bayer Science Teens", together with young Americans, are engaged with the topics of technology, environmental protection and sustainability. The international science camp is organized by the non-profit organization RiverQuest based in Pittsburgh. RiverQuest has already received multiple awards for its education programs and has been collaborating with the Bayer USA Foundation for a number of years.
