Good research thrives on the diversity of the people who conduct it. That is why we are committed to diversity and inclusion, as well as a working environment in which everyone can fulfil their potential.

Researchers at Helmholtz Earth and Environment – including scientists from Jülich – collect precise data on the Earth, the environment and the atmosphere worldwide and use it to develop sound prediction models and recommendations for action for politics and society. The aim is to mitigate climate change and drive forward the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy.

What will our planet look like in the future? ‘You make the difference’ is the German motto for Earth Day on 22 April. Our research provides data-based foundations for sustainable decision-making: for example, on water resources, land use and climate change.

Forschungszentrum Jülich is a European hotspot for quantum research. To mark Quantum Year, we are highlighting JUNIQ, the world's first quantum computing infrastructure, with a special page on our website.

In Jülich, researchers are working on solutions for tomorrow's energy. We think about energy in systemic terms – in an interdisciplinary, networked way and with a view to practical applications.

Stefan Kesselheim and Andreas Herten from the Jülich Supercomputing Centre helped to develop Teuken-7B. In the magazine effzett, they explain what distinguishes the multilingual open-source model from commercial products such as ChatGPT.
