The Gieskes-Strijbis Fund aims for societal impact by supporting groundbreaking projects. Together with Next Nature, the fund launched the Pioneers Challenge (2023–2026), in which six Next Nature fellows each year explore how we can become good crew members of Spaceship Earth. With this contribution, the fund seeks to foster a future in which technological innovation and the biological world positively reinforce one another. The projects realized by these creative visionaries bring new insights, raise environmental awareness, and strengthen confidence in a shared future.
