Research

Forschungszentrum Jülich adopts an interdisciplinary approach and investigates relations between research areas energy, information, and sustainable bioeconomy.

MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCH

a

Energy

The contributions to research and development made by the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK) include energy conversion methods and energy storage technologies as well as the mechanisms of climate change.

a

Information and the Brain

Scientists in the research area of information investigate how information is processed in biological and technical systems. The focus here is on brain research, basic research for future information technologies, and supercomputing.

a

Bioeconomy

As the global population increases, agricultural land recedes, and fossil fuel resources are on the decline, there is a need to transition from an oil-based economy to one based on the sustainable use of renewable resources. It is in this respect that the bioeconomy can make some key contributions.
