Shaping change
That is the driving principle at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Our projects make effective contributions to solving major societal challenges, for the digitalised society, a climate-friendly energy system and resource-conserving economies. This is achieved in the fields of information, energy and bioeconomy, among others, through close cooperation in ZEA-1 (Engineering and Manufacturing Technology), through the use of specialised technologies and the many years of experience of our staff.
Not everything we do can simply be categorised into research areas of the FZJ. Research questions, developments and joint planning result in approaches and scientific focal points in the building. One of the strengths of ZEA-1 lies in the combination of competences with the long-standing expertise of the staff. For example, in glass solder development or in the development of new types of welding processes. Since the boundaries of what is possible are being pushed at ZEA-1, we know what is possible and work accordingly with partner institutes. This enables us to turn ideas into products and research results of cutting-edge research.
This is the basis for our key competences and focus areas in which we set impulses: Miniaturisation, development of measuring instruments and enabling groundbreaking research.
“Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.” – Louis Pasteur
The science and research of ZEA-1 and Forschungszentrum Jülich is international. Prof. Dr. Ghaleb Natour has been engaged in science diplomacy for decades with the aim of building bridges to promote science and peace through cross-border cooperation. The basis for this is, among other things, scientific cooperation.
