The next application period for QUEST runs from June 10 to August 1, 2025, for a start in the winter semester 2025/26.

Welcome!

The QUEST certificate program offers high-achieving bachelor students in the natural sciences (Department 08, Department 09, and Department 10) the opportunity to gain insights into current cutting-edge research at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). A central component of the program is working on small projects under the supervision of scientists.

A certificate attests to the completion of the project and successful participation in the QUEST accompanying program, which teaches skills in scientific work. Students who publish the results of their project receive an award.
