Forschungszentrum Jülich

Forschungszentrum Jülich is one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe and a founding member of the Helmholtz Association. Researchers from all over the world contribute their expertise here in the major future fields of energy, information and bioeconomy. In these socially highly relevant areas, we are looking for solutions to the challenges of the modern world. We conduct basic research with a globally unique infrastructure and develop practical applications. Because we want our research to bring about positive change.

Fields of Research

Knowledge for a changing world

As one of the largest interdisciplinary research centres in Europe with top-class large-scale equipment, we work in the socially relevant fields of energy, bioeconomy, and information. Our goal is to find practical solutions for the challenges of the modern world.

In the field of hydrogen, for instance, we conduct research along the entire supply chain: from its climate-neutral production to its use in fuel cells. We are also developing innovative storage technologies and an efficient network infrastructure as the basis for a renewable energy supply.

In our work, we rely on our outstanding research infrastructure, which we also make available to external stakeholders from science and industry. For instance, we use the computing power of our supercomputers for the further development of artificial intelligence. This topic will lead our research to new frontiers in all areas. JUPITER, the first European exascale supercomputer, is currently being built at Forschungszentrum Jülich. This puts us well on the way to becoming Germany’s AI centre – and a European magnet for top researchers testing the computing of tomorrow.
