Natural Sciences
What fundamental processes influence the climate? Before this complex question can be answered, the “earth system” first has to be studied and understood. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) finances several funding programmes to support such research.
DESY is one of the world's leading accelerator centres and a member of the Helmholtz Association. DESY develops, builds and operates large particle accelerators used to investigate the structure of matter. DESY offers a broad research spectrum of international standing focusing on three main areas: accelerator development, construction and operation; photon science; particle and astroparticle physics.
The website provides an overview of the policy objectives of federal and state (framework programmes) and those involved in the research funding (donors and project management agencies) and research (research institutions) and the current research activities (collaborative projects and projects) in the various areas.
FIZ CHEMIE and its predecessor organization Chemisches Zentralblatt, founded in 1830, provide first-rate chemical data and abstracts for scientific and industrial communities, among others with their products ChemInform®, Infotherm®, and Chemische Zentralblatt.
The worldwide leading free-electron laser - for research with photons is presently the FLASH facility at the German Electron Synchrotron DESY (Hamburg). For more information visit this website.
The mission of the FZD is excellence in long-term research in advanced material technologies, cancer research, nuclear safety research and research with photons, neutrons and ions.
GSI operates a unique large-scale accelerator for heavy ions. Researchers from around the world use this facility for experiments that help them make fascinating discoveries in basic research. In addition, they continually develop new and impressive applications.
This funding priority encourages researchers from the humanities and the natural sciences to collaborate in interdisciplinary research associations and mutually enrich each other's work. The aim of the funding priority is not least to facilitate equitable discussion between various disciplinary cultures and enable the use of humanistic methods to interpret data and results in the natural sciences. Questions from archaeology and classical studies, language and literature have been chosen as starting points.
The Research Explorer is a joint project of the DFG (German Research Foundation) and the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service). The database contains over 17,000 institutes at German universities plus non-university research institutions, searchable by name, geographic location, subject and other criteria.
The German Chemical Society (GDCh) is the largest chemical organisation in Europe. The GDCh supports chemistry in teaching, research and application, and promotes a public understanding of chemistry. The website gives users a brief overview of the range of GDCh services and of its activities.
Researchers at the UFZ study the complex interactions between humans and the environment in cultivated and damaged landscapes. They develop concepts and processes to help secure the natural foundations of human life for future generations.
