The Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest research organisation with an annual budget of around 2.2 billion euros and 24,000 staff concentrated in 15 research centres. The Helmholtz Association works on solving the grand challenges which face society, science and industry and
concentrates on researching systems of great complexity in the following six research fields:
Earth and Environment
Energy
Health
Key Technologies
Structure of Matter
Transport and Space.
Helmholtz-DAAD Fellows carry out research in one of these fields and use the outstanding scientific infrastructure which the Helmholtz Centres maintain.
