International Collaboration and Research Funding
Research does not recognizes any boarders, basic research as well as applied research striving for finding solution to the major challenges facing humankind, essentially relies on international collaboration.
Beyond their actual mission of advancing science, research institutions have a societal obligation to contribute to stability and peace in Europe and worldwide. Personal contacts and collaboration accross political, cultural and ideological boundaries, are key to this endeavour.
The Helmholtz Association relies on cutting-edge technologies and develops and operates a unique network of large-scale facilities that is open to scientists from all over the world.*
Qualifiaction of young researchers in order to empower them to pursue innovative approaches based on a sound scientific background, is a corner stone for the sustainability of all activities.
The Department for International Collaboration and Research Funding supports the management and the scientists in the realisation of those essential elements of the strategy of HZDR.
