This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. They form the basis for scientific advances in tackling global societal challenges. Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Association‘s success and global impact.
Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. Its strategy begins with targeted recruitment of highly qualified staff at all levels, followed by comprehensive support aimed at further developing their potential. The Helmholtz Graduate Schools and Research Schools at almost all Helmholtz Centers provide doctoral students with the general and specific skills and training they need, as well as ample opportunity to network. For this reason, we established Career Development Centers for postdoctoral researchers in the Helmholtz Centers. To this end, there are currently two funding programs supporting this policy: and Helmholtz Distinguished Professorship – Funding for the recruitment of leading international female scientists (W3).
The increasing complexity of the content, structures and framework conditions of scientific work today requires researchers to organize their projects, their employees and, of course, themselves in a highly professional and effective way.
