Science with an Impact

At Forschungszentrum Jülich, we develop solutions for the major future topics of information, energy and bioeconomy. As one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe and a founding member of the Helmholtz Association, we attract scientists from all over the world. They conduct their research here in a unique infrastructure.

Our fields of research

How can we safely cover our energy needs using renewable resources? How can we achieve a resource-efficient circular economy? And how can artificial intelligence help us in all this? We research in the socially relevant fields of information, energy and bioeconomy. Our aim is to find practical solutions to the challenges of the modern world.

Helmholtz Researchs Fields

As a founding member of the Helmholtz Association, we are part of the largest German research organization and contribute our top-class expertise to four of the six Helmholtz research fields: energy, matter, information, and Earth and environment. Forschungszentrum Jülich receives funding through the Helmholtz Association’s program-oriented funding (PoF)

Research Infrastructures

Jülich’s research infrastructure is unrivalled in Europe, with supercomputers that are among the fastest in the world, electron microscopes that make atoms visible, and MRI scanners that can unveil thoughts.

Output & Impact

Forschungszentrum Jülich is a knowledge factory. Through our work, we push the boundaries of knowledge. Our expertise is in high demand and is put to use in a variety of ways.
