PIERIS FUND

Inspiring the future

The PIERIS Fund is a New Jersey–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building bridges between science, technology, and education across generations and across borders.

Through our flagship programs in Armenia – the STEMAR educational program in public schools and the Advanced Center for Detection Technologies (ACDT) in the A. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory – we empower students, teachers, and communities to turn curiosity into action.

Whether it’s delivering engineering kits to rural schools, hosting national STEM EXPOs, empowering collaborative project-based education, or fostering international collaboration in the scientific community, we create hands-on opportunities that inspire problem-solvers, innovators, and lifelong learners.
