Anniversary Competition „Transformation in Agriculture“
To celebrate the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Claas-Stiftung, this initiative will provide a financial investment to create an enduring legacy commemorating the achievements of the Class-Stiftung.
The programme is open to educational institutions of agriculture and related engineering. We are inviting entries that will encapsulate the Stiftung’s guiding principles, enhancing education in the Agricultural Engineering and supporting sectors.
The agricultural sector is facing a far-reaching process of change. This process is being driven by the diverse dynamics of social, environmental, economic and technological change.
More than ever, the expected future developments show that there is a need for efficient, resource-saving, financially viable and practical processes.
