Helmholtz Characteristics

Programme funding

Strategic evaluation

Competition and cooperation

Broad range of competencies

Large and attractive infrastructures

Strategic significance of the programme; scientific, societal and economic relevance

- Significance for Helmholtz aims

- Role in national, European and international programmes

- Cooperation and networking with German and foreign scientific partners (“concerted research”)

- Promotion of young scientists and equal opportunities for women

- Innovation potential

Helmholtz activities in the 6th FP

- Office in Brussels

- Support for preparations of proposals

171 coordinators for NoE or IP

31 Polish groups known to be involved

- Planned:

to integrate the funds of the Marie Curie Programme in order to enhance the mobility of our young researchers

Currently used Instruments

- Bilateral projects mainly through STC means (DESY, DLR, FZJ, GSI)

19 STC projects with a main focus in nuclear and particle physics as well as aeronautics research

- Networks - nationally , EU, or UNESCO funded (FZK, DLR, GFZ, GKSS)

f.e. International Continental Drilling Programmeor Flood monitoring of the Oder or the Pierre-Auger Project

Scientific focus on geo- and environmental sciences and energy research

DESY: Longstanding Polish Cooperation

Contribution to the construction of HERA

- strong Polish involvement in HERA-experiments, f.e. ZEUS

- since 1984 there are 30-45 constantly visiting scientists per year

7 of the 45 collaborating TESLA partners are polish institutions

Usage of Electron-Positron Storage Ring DORIS

- Partners in international teams: contribution to development and use of large scale equipment

DESY: HERA, DORIS, TESLAGSI: Zukunftsprojekt, HADES, RISING Project

- Exchange of guest scientists and graduate students

About 200 guest scientists and 36 graduate students
