RESEARCH WITH AN IMPACT
With its 15 research centres and annual budget of approximately 2.3 billion euros the Helmholtz Association is
Germany's largest research institution. The 26,500 employees produce top-rate scientific results in six research fields:
Energy I Earth and Environment I Health I Key Technologies I Structure of Matter I Transport and Space
The Helmholtz Association identifies and takes on the grand challenges of society, science and the economy, in
particular through the investigation of highly complex systems. Helmholtz Centres are the national laboratories
for natural and life sciences and operators of large-scale facilities and scientific infrastructure.
