Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany)
The
Federal Ministry of Education and Research (, ), abbreviated
BMBF, is a
cabinet-level ministry of Germany. It is headquartered in
Bonn, with an office in
Berlin. The Ministry provides funding for research projects and institutions (aiming for "research excellence") and sets general educational policy. It also provides
student loans in Germany. However, a large part of educational policy in Germany is decided at the
state level, strongly limiting the influence of the ministry in educational matters.
