Research Focus
The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry. To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields: Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport.
Promoting young researchers is a major priority for the Helmholtz Association. Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. The Helmholtz Association has set high standards for its talent management.
Helmholtz Graduate Schools and Research Schools provide doctoral students with the general and specific skills and training they need, as well as ample opportunity to network with other working groups.
The increasing complexity of scientific work today requires researchers to organise their projects and themselves in a highly professional and effective way. In response, theHelmholtz Management Academy provides professional management training for junior leaders in science.
