Jacobs Foundation
The vision of the Jacobs Foundation? To create a world where every child has access to quality education. At the Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize 2023, this message came to life through playful installations and enlightening «aha» moments, making it an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
Research That Opens New Paths
The Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize, awarded every two years by the Jacobs Foundation, honors outstanding researchers whose work is key to advancing child and youth development. In 2023, Professor Janet Currie from Princeton University was recognized for her groundbreaking discoveries. The awards ceremony, accompanied by an engaging exhibition, celebrated her achievements while also highlighting the Jacobs Foundation's commitment to social impact through live marketing.

Two Exhibits, One Powerful Message
The exhibition «The Power of Preschool» illustrated how the public initiative «Head Start» is improving the future for disadvantaged children. Scientific findings were transformed into an abstract kindergarten setting, offering guests educational insights even as they enjoyed a drink. The star of the show? Easily digestible research facts that came together like a giant puzzle.
«The research findings were vividly brought to life in the exhibition Pollution Takes a Toll.»
What do a model highway and toy cars have to do with an elegant awards ceremony? The research findings were vividly brought to life in the exhibition «Pollution Takes a Toll». A green-painted model illustrated the positive effects of electronic toll collection on air quality and children's health, while red-painted objects highlighted the drawbacks of traditional toll systems.
Through skillful storytelling, both exhibits underscored a clear goal of the Jacobs Foundation: promoting scientific knowledge to shape education policies that advance the positive development of children worldwide.
