Scientific and technical education is not only a prerequisite for material prosperity in the future, it is of itself an immaterial factor in prosperity in that it equips the individual to deal with life’s challenges and also shapes his worldview. In the face of future challenges for mankind in the areas of environment, mobility, communication, etc., it is more important than ever to encourage research, development and implementation in the marketplace, particularly among young people.
