Since 1988, the Foundation for the Promotion of Research for the Industrial Sector has been short for the Foundation Industrial Research. The purpose of the foundation is to promote science and research in areas of interest to small and medium-sized enterprises, namely business administration, organization, and technology.

As a rule, the Industrial Research Foundation awards up to 20 scholarships a year to highly qualified students who want to do a scientifically sound and practically oriented master's or diploma thesis at a German university (university or technical college). At the beginning of each year, they focus on students of technical and natural science degree programs.

With its scholarships, the Foundation for Industrial Research aims to promote the scholarly qualifications of scholarship holders and, at the same time, strengthen the orientation of the research institutes from which the work is created to central research questions of industrial SMEs in Germany. The potential benefits from the supported work must be cross-company; Single-company related work is not supported. With their funding, the Foundation for Industrial Research also aims to ensure that the scholarship holders can concentrate fully on the preparation of their diploma or master's thesis.
