Willy-Hager-Stiftung supports scientific research in environmental protection, with a very clear emphasis on process engineering for water treatment. Its grants and awards largely go to German university researchers working on drinking water, industrial/process water, wastewater treatment, recycling and water reuse, and especially dissertation-level or early-career scientific work. The foundation is distinctive for funding both project-based research and an annual prize recognizing outstanding academic work in industrial water and wastewater treatment.
Primarily Germany-focused, with competitive research project funding and an annual prize of about EUR 6,000 for outstanding scientific work. Funding appears to be academic and research-driven, often supporting personnel and material costs for projects, with awards and grants tied to specific technical topics rather than broad open-ended philanthropy.

Monitor the foundation’s German-language site for annual deadlines, especially the Willy-Hager-Preis submission cutoff (for example, 22.11.2024). Applicants should be university-based researchers in Germany with projects directly related to water/wastewater process engineering, and proposals should clearly emphasize technical innovation, environmental benefit, and relevance to industrial or municipal water treatment.
