We are convinced that an excellent education system and constructive sharing of information between industry and academia provide the best foundations for a secure future. Financial assistance for education and academic work therefore represents a key element in our social commitment.

Structural change in the economy and in financial markets requires an ongoing transfer of knowledge from universities to where it is needed in practice. In the other direction, the economy can contribute to the practical relevance of academic work by presenting current issues to universities for study.

The focus of our educational activities is the Provision of academic support by the DZ BANK Foundation. We also award the DZ BANK Group Career Prize and are Members of various academic organizations.
